Re: Hijacked by AntiVirus Gold




hi, i read all these posts and was having to same problem with that darn
trojan two days ago. I have found a solution and i felt obligated to
post it for all of u. I have ad-aware running on my computer and it
just wasnt cutting. What i ended up doing was downloading the freeware
version of Spybot Search and Destroy and the free 15-day trial of
Webroot Spy Sweeper. I ran them all together and it fixed it. I think
that the Webroot Spy Sweeper was the key because in the free scan that
you can do on their website, it was the only program to recognize the
antivirus gold as a trojan. I dont know if it worked because all three
programs removed part of it but it worked. Webroot asked me to reboot
the system and when i did, there was no warning in the backround and no
(X) in the toolbar.

Hope that helps,
Dazed and Confused
