Does anyone know any really good anti-virus, spyware, keylogger bs, detecter/destroyer because I've got a trojan right now, don't know how, but I got one, and I need help.

Or should I just wipe my comp?

Help

how much stuff have you got on your pc?

you can try an anti-trojan but.. nothing is as secure as a full pc wipe and reinstall. maybe you can use norton ghost this time to keep a clean copy of your system drive?

the other thing you might try to do is use zonealarm firewall, detect which programs are tryign to hack out of your firewall and delete them all.

good luck!

Norton 2006 works.

I'm using Kaspersky antivirus, which picks up pretty much anything.

Apart from the virus I have right now. ><

Before you think about formatting, STOP. READ THIS. http://www.informationweek.com/windows/ ... queryText=

Formats are not needed to get rid of viruses. This will nuke them, even if the files remain on your system. Do this, then sweep the drive with as many scanners as you can, and you will be clean -without- the hassle of a full harddrive wipe.

Dont install Norton.

Kaspersky is pretty good but if you want a free good scanner get AntiVir.
