Trojan HorseI found this file on my computer today, and had my AVG Virus scan program remove it to the virus vault. AVG is a very powerful virus scan and is FREE!

I recommened AVG to all my customers who call me as it catches virus before Norton and McAfee and Panda. I have never seen a program that beats it to be honest. My computer ALWAYS have this installed.

Other than running AVG and moving it to vault I would have never found it.

More input from FAQ Farmers:

  • I used my free AVG and it told me I had it but couldn't move it to the vault...so, I took a free 30 day trial of their more advanced tool and it removed it from my computer. Not free but it worked
  • All Trojan horses are hidden files so you would need to go to the Files Option (click the View tab)at Control Panel and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. You will then need to restart your computer and and go into SafeMode by holding the F8 key down -(at bootup - after the first screen info). [You have to use your keyboard when you're in SafeMode]- So, from the DeskTop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files or Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (not downloader.wintrim.AD) but the actual name of the file, which would have shown up on your anti-virus software. You can delete this file from here, also make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.
  • I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. I deleted the Temp file (as these keep putting the same files back into your system) from the _Restore folder after unchecking the hidden files boxes, then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests! I also have AVG 6.0 (the free one) & also the Ad-aware 6 and I use them every day as my kids love to play games from the internet.
