Hi Boylers :-)
To fully clean your system of all scumware, start here and work through the
detailed steps:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be aware, your Anti-Virus won't detect all types of warez, Trojans, malware,
worms, etc., and neither can other adware or spyware related programs such
as AdAware and SpyBot. They don't have the proper definitions. They must
also be run in Safe Mode with Hidden Files enabled in order to fully scan
all files. Even if you have run such programs and nothing shows up, it does
not mean your system is clean. It takes a series of programs to fully clean
your machine. Some very aggressive and damaging variants of malware can
replicate themselves repeatedly, or mutate, if not removed properly.
Also...
Download and install HiJackThis. This is one of the most important steps.
Follow all instructions carefully. This program should be run in Normal
mode.

How to make a good newsgroup post:

Hey,
Over the past week or so, my computer is running really, really slowly.
I have been into certain files on my computer e.g. C:/WINDOWS and I've
found some files which I thought might be 'bad' so I typed their names
into Google and it came up with "virus", "trojan" etc. I'm a beginner
with things like this, but I know Trojans are pretty bad. Please could
someone help me out....tell me how to get rid of bad files and prevent
them from returning? If you could spare me a few minutes, that would be
great! Thank you!
Boylers
