systemsuite feeds me into Trend Micro

[aaronep]

In using Systemsuite Vsn 7 on my XP computer to scan & detect viruses,
I learned after scanning that I had a trojan virus that Systemsuite
could not remove. The program then linked me to another program
offered by Trend Micro to delete the virus.

My question therefore is, is Systemsuite the best virus removal
program available, or are there others that are more reliable? I
never heard of Trend Micro. Are there programs viable?

all information, opinions, etc. welcomed! Aaron

I've heard good things about Trend Micro Internet Security, but if you post
the name of the Trojan that was detected we could probably help you remove
it using free software.

"So, you didn¢t patch the system and it got hacked. What to do? Well, let¢s

"The only way to clean a compromised system is to flatten and rebuild.
That¢s right. If you have a system that has been completely compromised,
the only thing you can do is to flatten the system (reformat the system
disk) and rebuild it from scratch (re-install Windows and your
applications)..."

If reformating of HDD is not an option for you then
download David H. Lipman's MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL:
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/sicherheit/35905/multi_av_scanning_tool.html

The web site is in German but the MULTI_AV scanning tool is in English.
Anyway, go down to near of the bottom of the page and you'll see a box
titled "Infos Zum Download - Multi-AV Scanning Tool". You'll see: Download
von www pctipp.ch and the link to download:
Once you've clicked this link, it will bring to:
http://www.pctipp.ch/index.cfm?pid=1411&pk=28470.

You will have to wait for a few seconds or so and the 'Download file'
window should appear - just follow the prompts to download Multi_AV.exe

If however the 'Download file' window does not appear don't panic, don't
click, don't do anything, just look for:
Der Download started in wenigen Sekunden automatisch.
Fall nicht, klicken Sie bitte -hier-.

Translated to English:
The download process is going to start in a few seconds.
If not, click -here-.

This should be pretty self-explanatory.
