downloader.trojan

[Ron Harvey]

Please help,

When Running norton anti virus system scan it finds a
virus called loader.exe but is unable to delete or
quarentine. I have tried to disable system restore and
update the regedit to delete anything detected with
downloader.trojan, there wasnt anything to delete.

Please advise on deletion of this virus

Regards Ron

Do a full virus scan from PAnda and choose all the options
(heuristic, compressesed, etc,etc)

loader.exe is not a valid XP file, probably the virus itself.
Use msconfig and check startup axis for anything suspicious.
Make sure *you* know what's starting on *your*
computer and go from there.

You should never be in a psoition that you have startup items you
cannot identify. You're asking for trouble.
