HELP! trojan downloader

[GINA]

i am very NEW at pc's
i ran AVG and it came up with this.....
1. infected c:/windows/system2/pdh.exe
2. trojan horse downloader.small.6.t

i tried to put #2 in the vault but it says it cant be moved or fixed.

i know trojan horses arent good for a pc but im at a loss as to what to
do

i tried googling #2 but i didnt get anywhere with it

any help would be greatly appreciated

TIA
Gina

Copy down it's location , go in on Safe Mode and delete it , also delete it
from the Recycling Bin. It would be good to purge the System Restore , turn
off System Restore , it might be residing there too. Reboot. Turn the System
Restore back on. Jym

Hi Gina,

Go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options (click the View tab)and
uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide
protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself
out.

Then go to Start > Search > For Files or Folders option and type in
the name of the file: stobject.exe - highlight the file and press
Delete...make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.

Hope this helps

Run this free online virus scan , it is pretty good at finding and deleting
viruses . You need to do the System Restore last. Good Luck Rookie. Jym

It's a bad program, part of the spyware, you want to search for this
file and delete it.

Glad that I could help. Keep virus programs updated and run Adaware
regularly for protection against further nasties. Jym
