Everytime i startup my computer, after its all boot up my, my trend micro says it found and cleaned Troj_Bridge.A. The thing is, virus is in the same place at the same time, everytime i restart my computer. Is there something on my computer that is putting it there? Need some advice. THanks

Where does it say the virus is located? I had a similar problem where Norton kept reporting that a virus was located in a restore file. The virus was actually located in a file on my desktop and every time Windows went to create a restore file it duplicated the file in that file as well. The "fix" was to do a full-system scan. Real-time protection will not detect viruses on your computer unless some action is taken against them (read, copy, run, etc). Michael J

In my experience, very few trojans and viruses are completely removed from a system with anti virus software, there is almost always some left over reference. I only use anti virus software to identify the virus or trojan. If you type the name of the trojan into your search bar, you will get numerous pages of information and manual removal procedures for that particular one, there is also quite often automatic removal applications designed for each virus or trojan.

go to it's location like they said and try to manually delete it. if you can't, that means your virus software sucks because it should have renamed the file and converted it from an executable to something that can't run itself. i use panda and whatever i can't delete, panda renames it and renders the virus useless because it can't run itself anymore. keep checking, you'll figure it out.

Umtwademel, FWIW, be aware that ME and XP both have a feature called 'Restore'. A nasty (virus, spyware, etc) can hide there and since it is a 'Windows' file, Windows won't allow any alteration so long as it is active. The registry gets re-written on the next bootup and the last successful boot is used and since nasties don't count, the boot appears to be sucessful, thus a 'nasty' gets replicated. The solution is simple (assuming that's the problem), TEMPORARILY disable Restore (in order to 'unprotect'), scan/clean, re-enable restore and try again. May have to reboot. During the disable process, you will destroy ALL your restore points, thus some folks disagree with that fix, feeling that any restore point (even a corrupted one!) is better than none at all. You can sidestep that pitfall by creating a new restore point as soon as you have a clean machine. FWIW, I have used it on both ME & XP Pro with no lasting ill effects. HTH. Ed in Texas.
