Hi Folks,
I was downloading a game from kazaa and i caught a virus ("BIG MISTAKE")can anyone please help me to remove it from my system "Hacktool virus" I've learned my lesson well. Thank very much
Go to the Symantec or Trend websites, run their scans and use the tools to clean up your system. Why did your antivirus program fail you? All the best!

Kazaa includes spyware. Gator and bargains.exe if my memory is correct. You can disable both from running during the startup process by downloading and running StartCop, a free utility from PC Magazine.
