Trojans?

[Guest]

I have the Antispyware Beta from Microsoft. It keeps finding WinnCommX Trojan
Downloader and Web P2P Installer Trojan Downloader and Alnet P2P Networking
Adware on each scan. I have been trying to get rid of these for good but to
no avail. Any suggestions? thanks

Yes Mike...I had the same problem and was directed, by my ISP, to
www.housecall.trendmicro.com
or
www.housecall.antivirus.com Either will take you to the site and it is
GREAT and best of all FREE! It took care of all my problems. They also gave
me these free sites to use prior to this one.....www.lavasoft.com (free from
CNET...also GREAT) for in between times. I run it weekly now and Housecall
bi-weekly or monthly. Good luck!

Yeah, don't use the MS A/S, after all it's BETA plus it's not anywhere
near as good as Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D and HijackThis.

Mike, no one anti-malware program catches everything. There are a
variety of free ones, and all should be run, routinely, in safe mode.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

If you’re still having problems after running these then run HijackThis
and post the log to one of the specialty forums, _NOT_ this one.
