Doing both of these steps will prevent the trojan from reinfecting your PC.

The reason Norton cannot delete them is because it is running so can't be deleted.

Do the same with other.exe files you see in Norton scan and when all of them has been stopped, you can tell Norton to delete them and it will.

All Trojan horses are hidden files, in order to get at them you will need to go to Start /Control Panel /Folder Options (click the View tab)and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. Then you will need to restart your computer and go into SafeMode by HOLDING the F8 key DOWN -(at bootup - after the first screen info - be quick!) and choose SafeMode. [You have to use your keyboard when you're in SafeMode - the keys to use are Ctrl/Alt/Delete (to exit the Help and Support screen) - Tab/Arrow keys/ Pageup/Pagedown/ the Window key(between Ctrl & Alt) & Enter] So, from the DeskTop screen press the Window key to get Start/ arrow up to Search/ arrow right to For Files or Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (not for example horse.winshow.V) but the actual name of the file, which would have shown up on your anti-virus software. To delete this file from here just press Page Up to highlight the file and then delete. To get out of Search -Alt F/ arrow down to Close and press Enter. Press the Window key to shutdown and restart your computer.

It will be safe to empty your Recycle Bin in the Normal mode where you can use your mouse.

I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. After unchecking the hidden files boxes I deleted the Temp file from the _Restore folder (as these keep putting the same files back into your system), then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!

hope this helps...Phyl

PS. 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.

I did all the above except when I tried to delete it, it said file cannot be deleted, access denied, source may bein use.

Norton is junk. I fix computer every day and take out thousands of viruses and what I commonly see is Norton on the computer. That tell me that Norton is not working at all. Norton has lot of problem because it lives on your machine. New viruses come out by the second and Norton could not keep up with the update with its long distribution line and traffic jam up.

Where do I go to find the hidden files? 1. doesn't tell me enough about what window to be in to follow the instructions. Thank you

Go to the Start tab, Click it. Go to the control panel. On the tool bar click the tools tab, and find the folder options. click the folder options. Select "Show all hidden files". That should do it. When you are done fixing your PC, go back and select to hide folders and files.

Comet.B. In winXP home OS the only way I have established at the moment is to disable system restore, drastic as is sounds downright dangerous if you mess around with win. systems as I do. Go to control panel then performance and maintenance click system then click system restore tab tick check box to turn off. Try running avg or similar again and see how it goes. i have also explored the system volume information folder ((hidden) which was empty. see www.theeldergeek.com he's quite clever.

USE AVG FREE 7 TO REMOVE TROJAN HORSE SPOONER.A,IT ALSO REMOVES sp.exe ,WHICH IT DID NOT DO IN AVG FREE 6

Assuming you mean a subdirectory under 'C:\System Volume Information' and your anti-virus application has detected but cannot fix the problem :- select System Restore tab in System Properties (WinKey+Pause) and check the box marked 'Turn off System Restore on all drives', confirm, close System Properties and reboot. This will clear all files in 'C:\System Volume Information' and therefore the MusicSearch.AM problem. 'C:\System Volume Information' is not just a hidden folder, it's also system protected and as such, anti-virus software cannot write to any file within and therefore cannot delete or quarantine any infected file detected. To turn on System Restore, just reverse the above procedure. Hope this helps, Canis.

Neve heard of Microtrend. If you are talking about Trendmicro, the answer is yes. Another good free online scan is Panda.

Usually it will work, but sometimes it will be formed again. Although you delet it using AVG, it will form again and again. In this case, see the file's location, and delete it yourself.

Unfortunately, IM viruses have become a very common problem lately. Generally, removing these viruses can be complex, and removal instructions vary depending on which virus you have. More detail would be useful.

There are however some general things you can do:

1. Your best solution is to use a virus scanner. If the scanner does not detect the virus, it may lead you to a removal tool online.

2. If you know the name of the virus you have, a simple search on a virus scanner's web site (such as www.symantec.com) will probably lead you to an automatic removal tool.

3. Check out Microsoft's security web site at They have some tools you can use to remove many of these types of viruses, especially for MSN Messenger. You can look up other IM web sites to see if they have a removel tool available.

4. Spyware removal software, such as Ad-aware, can sometimes clean some types of these viruses. Check out www.lavasoft.com for more.

5. Try a google search, and provide as many details as possible. It's very likely someone has posted removal steps somewhere for your virus.

This happened to me once. and it was so is frustrating.

Here's how I fixed mine (don't forget to set a restore point in case something goes wrong?): using your keyboards arrow keys, tab keys, hot keys, etc. to navigate your system.

-- REBOOT in SAFE MODE.

-- Go to START > SETTTINGS > CONTROL PANEL and open your SYSTEM PROPERTIES. Select the HARDWARE tab and open your DEVICE MANAGER scroll down to MICE AND OTHER POINTING DEVICES and double click on your listed/installed device to open up a PROPERTIES WINDOW on this device.

-- Select DRIVER tab. From here you can try several things: You may need to update your drivers, and, at least in XP you can roll back to your previous setting if updates don't help, or, heaven forbid, make matters worse.

-- OR you can do what finally worked for me. I had to uninstall my mouse drivers then reinstall install them. No more problem - for me anyway.

This helped me. I hope it works for you as well. Good Luck.

The easiest way to get rid of it is to switch off system restore, then switch it back on again. This is done through 'System' in the 'Control Panel'. This deletes all of your restore points, so you'll have to do a manual 'restore point' afterwards. There are some antivirus programs that can get rid of viruses/trojans in restore point files, AVAST is one of them. You'll have to make sure that whatever antivirus program you're running is up-to-date though.
