I've done spybots and everything, it tracks it, but the destination has to be
in a hidden file and I can't get to it... When I click search, its results go
: not looking in hidden files. I need help! Thanks!
 
Perform a "Clean Install". The virus has irreversibly
compromised your system.

After performing a "Clean Install", consider purchasing and
installing a first-rate Internet Security program to help protect
your system from garbage internet web sites:

Norton Internet Security 2005

Jerry,
I did that, and sure enough, it found yet another trojan, but I got that one
removed.. theres something tricky (and scary) about this one.. I was just
giong to reformat my computer, and re-install windows, but when I stick in
the CD, it says that I have a newer version on my computer than what is on
the disk... Any suggestions?
 
Carey,
Thanks so much for your advice... I'm not completely computer literate, but
it seems like great advice, I'm going to fiddle with it, and if I know I
can't do it, I'm going to take it to a technician tomorrow (costing me an arm
and a leg!). I bought norton antivirus 2005, and it didn't pick it up, which
surprised me.. Thanks again for the advice and wish me luck!

I am not the brightest when it comes to computers, I have found that I
can go to "Symantec", "TrendMicro" and few others on line that have
helped me remove Trojans when nothing else worked.
May Save you a lot of time, stress and money.
Good Luck and let us know how it turned out.
