Hi Samantha,

Use one (or both) of these programs:

Ad-Aware (free version):
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Spybot - Search & Destroy:
http://spybot.eon.net.au/

 

[Information Scavenger]

Also (besides the two programs mentioned below) do a search for and
download CWSHREDDER - its great and designed only for browser
hijackers...

Hi Samantha

Try the following programs to check for any spyware that might be on your
system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

None of Ad-Aware; Spybot, CWShredder; Hijackthis; or additional spyware
software has worked. This Trojan... upon seeing possible removal ... has
eliminated command functions.

I had no choice but rebuild the computer.

Thanks... Samantha...

Please inform if anyone else has come across this trojan and safely removed
it for future reference.

That was a quick decision. How long had you been having the problem for?
