Trojan horse computer issue
Do I need to be concerned? Now I don't want to do any credit card payments or banking over my computer for fear the keystrokes will be captured. I never open attachments at home. Ever. So if there is a Trojan horse, where did it come from? |

Get back later |
| Nah, it's probably nothing but a scare tactic to get you to click on their crap. Do you have a plain old virus scan on your computer? Just run it and see what it says but as long as you just closed the boxes and didn't install anything, you should be fine. |
| Who is "they?" I did click on a box to "run" an anti-virus program but it never ran (or I never got a notice that it ran). I finally closed the computer down and a few hours later powered it up again and everything seemed fine. |
| I spent 6 hours removing a real spyware/trojan virus from my dad's AVG protected computer. |

That's what James spent the entire time doing last Christmas at my mom's, too. Spyware is the worst. It's nice being on the lower end of the market share.  |
| So what spyware/anti-virus program do you gurus recommend?
And how will I know if it was a real Trojan virus? |
| Paula Per IT support. Richards says:
This person probably did OK. I don't think there's a virus on their PC sounds like a scam message. I would have them power down first then power back up and run their virus scan software just to be sure. |
