on my machine.
Trojan Horse Trojan-downloader-conhook is the way it list it.

I quarantined it in my webroot spysweeper program
and am now running spysweeper again, this after running stinger .
Reason I am doing all this again after the initial find and quarantine was
that I
went to cut on my laptop just a while ago
(this trojan was found on this laptop) and
under my identity name
it showed 1 unread message ( normal there) but also said
one program was
running ,
I am afraid the trojan may be the program running for I never had never
noticed it saying "program
running" before when I had not even logged on to the net yet.

Is this trojan a virus or what and , what
else do I need to do to assure it is totally gone off my puter?
Please folks , try and help me in
laymens terms as much as possible for I am
not well versed in computer tech. stuff.

Thanks much !

Has anyone found a tool to remove this trojan? I also have virtumonde
with this trojan and I can't rid of it...
 
If you purchased SpySweeper, it'd be able to fix your problems.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

I've tried to delete the malware using Killbox but it doesn't work.
Will posting the Hijack log help?
 
Yes.

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.
