What does the Swizzor Trojan do to your system if it is not removed?

It is part of lop adware. You can run to remove it. If you get a virus warning about that file, ignore it.. they're already running code on your PC, so how could running more hurt? But I've also debugged it myself and there is nothing malicious in there - the antivirus companies can't detect the main adware themselves so they just find the one thing that's the same everywhere, the uninstaller! And that will remove it completely from your system, they have to by law (they are based in the USA and are a legal company).

How do you get rid of Trojan horse Downloader Swizzor AF?
I removed Swizzor If you're situation is anything like mine, Swizzor will be deep within C:\System Volume Information - you'll notice that a) it doesn't show up on explorer and b) that some antivirus programs (mine is AVG) do not look into the directory when they are scanning. This is because System Volume Information it is a system folder. It deals with previous system restores and is apart from being rather large, it is access restricted. Therefore, in order to allow a scan, steps must be taken to allow access to this folder. I did some research and took the following steps. Hopefully they will work for you: NOTE: This is for XP users, if operating a different Windows version you may have to adapt! 1) To show System Volume Information on explorer a) First goto Start> Settings> Control Panel> Folder Options. b) In Folder Options, click on the View tab. c) Under the heading "Hidden files and folders", check "Show hidden..." d) Uncheck the checked box a few items down "Hide protected operating system files" 2) To allow access to the System Volume Information directory a) Goto My Computer> C: drive> (you'll notice that System Volume Information has appeared) b) Right click System Volume Information and click on "Sharing and Security" c) Check the "Share this folder on the network" box. Access is now enabled. 3) To remove Swizzor a) Run your Antivirus Software and setup a custom scan. b) Select System Volume Information to scan. c) Voila! With any luck you should be Swizzor free now! Remember to uncheck "Share this folder on the network" if you have a network; and recheck "Hide protected operating system files" if you have kids or a cat. THOM

How do you remove Trojan horse downloader swizzor af?
To remove this Trojan you need to download an anti-virus software called AVG by "Grisoft" (Search on www.Google.co.UK to find the website) It is FREE to download. Free updates and removes all trojans/virus's. I thoroughly recomend this. When you download it, update it (FREE) and run the complete test this will remove it and free your computer of this Trojan. If the virus is in the system volume information AVG will not pick it up. Follow the steps in this page and run AVG again. AVG should have picked up your virus this time. (You have the option in AVG to run a custom scan where you can set it to scan the system volume information only).
