Trojans???

[Maria]

I have two trojans on my computer. How do I go about
getting rid of them? One is Trojan, win32, briss, 69632
and the other is trojan, win32, bispy, 138264

Hi Maria,

My first step is usually to restart in Safe mode, then delete the trojan
itself and the reference in the registry that loads it. Usually, it can be
found under one of these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

You might also want to purge any restore points, as the bug will likely be
in them as well.
