Download Trojan Virus

[Guest]

I have found a Download Trojan virus in my MSupdater.exe file. How do I disinfect this? Currently, the same homepage www.find4u.net keeps coming up as my homepage even though I have changed it in the Internet Explorer property settings.

Check your system for other "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip; [new
URL] ) is the preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both
identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

shredder and installing the free verison. trojan is
basically spyware and cws gets rid of most spyware.
