Your speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working whats wrong and how do you fix it?
It really depends upon the type of car (year, brand, model, etc.). I had the same issue on a 90 Honda Accord. This particular car had a sending unit on the transaxle (transmission) that failed. The connection from the sending unit to the speedometer is electrical. I replaced the sending unit and all was well. Other cars have a cable that connects from the transmission to the speedometer. If you have this type of car, the problem could be the cable, the gear at the end of the cable that runs off of the transmission or the speedometer itself. More information is needed to provide further details. What type of car do you have? Do you have a manual?

Virus is the programming file....
A computer "virus" is a program that runs on your computer doing things you would not want it to do. Typically, this will involve doing damage to your hard drive, or sending mail without your permission. A virus gets on to your computer usually when you connect to the Internet. Browsing the Internet sometimes calls for small programs to be downloaded to your computer, and they run there to help make the whole thing you are looking at go quicker or easier. Some of these, however have been put there to drop a little "extra" program onto your system, which will then deliberately mess things up. You can sometimes have a virus that hasn't yet hurt anything, but is waiting for a moment or date in time when it will be activated. The best way to insure that you don't have a virus is to buy virus scan software, have it on your system, and have it scanning your system periodically. This virus scan software can delete virus's automatically, and prevent new ones from getting onto your system. A virus is code that duplicates itself through a host in another words a computer. Viruses alter or delete files and other data. They also can send them selves to other computers via the infected computers email or network. A virus is code that tries to travel from computer to computer by attempting to copy itself, hide itself, and send itself to others. Most of the time, viruses will also have harmful effects, depending on what the exact virus is. One hypothetical example is a virus that changes your Windows user password to "slug bug".
Infection by viruses and other harmful software can be prevented largely by the use of specialized software and by not running any programs unless you're absolutely sure of what they are, especially ones that attempt to be downloaded to your computer from websites, or in email.
Note that not all harmful software is technically a virus; only ones that attempt to become duplicated and spread across multiple computers. A computer virus is a malicious software that enters your computer via email or downloading files.
A parasitic program written intentionally to enter a computer without the users permission or knowledge. The word parasite is used because a virus attaches to files or boot sectors and replicates itself, thus continuing to spread. Though some virus's do little but replicate others can cause serious damage or effect program and system performance. A virus should never be assumed harmless and left on a system." -Symantec
A functional definition of a computer virus must include the fact that it creates damage to the computer system "infected"; either inadvertently or deliberately. This definition is somewhat simplified and does not cover all virus types, but is sufficient to show the major differences between viruses and so called "Trojan" programs, which is that the virus replicates, but the Trojan program does not. A computer virus is a software that enters your computer via email or downloading. A computer virus can be classified as any program or other piece of code that is written to disrupt the normal operation of a computer. The severity of the disruption ranges from minor annoyances, like displaying silly or distracting messages, to very destructive. Listing all the possible symptoms that a virus can cause is outside the scope of this question, but suffice it to say that a majority of them are towards the destructive end of the scale. In order to protect your computer from viruses, you must ensure you have an anti virus program installed, and that it is constantly updated. Some of the more common anti virus programs are Norton Anti Virus, McAfee Anti Virus, AVG, and Trend Micro to name a few. Regardless of which software you are using, or choose to install, they all need to be updated at least daily. These updates contain new and updated virus signatures. Without these updates, the software will be unable to detect newer viruses as they come out. In addition to installing anti virus software on your PC, you must also make sure your operating system is up to date. If you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system, you should regularly check windows update for updates, and install all the critical updates. Many viruses spread through security vulnerabilities in Windows that have already been addressed by Microsoft via a patch. If you do not use Windows Update, it is possible you can be infected with a virus through one of these vulnerabilities. Having up to date anti virus software, and an up to date operating system does not guarantee that you will never be infected with a virus, but the chances are much lower. A computer virus is a software that enters your computer via email or downloading files. A computer virus is a program that harms or leads to the harm of your computer. You can get one by downloading it when viewing the Internet or double clicking on an attachment sent to you.
A virus is a computer program that piggybacks or attaches itself to application programs or other executable system software.
A computer virus is a software program that has been intentionally created to cause a user grief, spread to other computers, or destroy data on an individual's computer. To help prevent a computer from becoming infected by a virus, software developers have developed antivirus programs that stay active on the computer helping to protect it.

This is a very open ended question. There could be many causes for such a problem. Generally when I see a problem of this nature start happening out of the blue without any intentional changes to the system it's usually spyware, adware, or similar applications eating up memory and crashing Internet explorer. I would start by trying to determine if you have such programs running. You can view the tasks running by the keystrokes ctrl-alt-delete. Depending on which OS you have you may have to click "Task Manager" option if you're running 2000/XP otherwise it will automatically bring up the current tasks. You should do this immediately after boot up of your system to see what normally is running. In Windows 9x/Me all you are required to have running is "Explorer" and "Systray" you can "end task" everything else and you machine will run just fine. Of course some of those programs may be things such as viruscanner, of which hopefully you have, and soundcard applications, CD writer applications, etc. If you are computer literate enough you can write down each task showing and successfully search for the items online to determine there purpose. There are many spyware/adware apps that appear as Bargain (bargain buddy), bxx5, among others. Also viruses may show up as a task. If your not sure what the tasks running are try the internet. Someone has written about it before. If it's spyware/adware you can probably find out how to remove it from there as well. Good Luck, -Shawn

Answer:
Yes, the question was what Trojan horses do to your computer, not how to remove them.
There are various Trojans out there. They carry this name, because their job is to infiltrate your system without being detected. This can be done by reediting your registry to fool security software, or if they tag along with legitimate software.
In any case, they are there to harm you in some way. One type of Trojan opens up backdoors to your security so that it can install other harmful processes along the right. Others will keep track of your keyboard input and send the data off to hackers who will steal from you. I hope this is useful.
How do you erase the Trojan horse StartPage from the kghdd dll system file under Windows Pro 2000?
Start Windows in test mode (F8). Access MS-DOS symbol and go to directory "C:\WINNT\system32". Tipe "del kghdd.dll" and press enter. The dll-file will be deleted from your hard disk. Restart PC in normal mode and run anti virus for final check.
How do you get rid of Trojan horse dowloader stubby c in windows xp home edition?
I had the virus on my XP office and even though I had Spydoc/Norton & AVG couldnt get rid,after every scan it said clear then even scanning immediately after a scan still turned it up again. Pop ups were appearing by the 100's and Trojan warnings every few minutes. I tried everything for 3 weeks to no avail then I did something so simple & silly I was using windows search for something & decided to type in Trojan not in the least expecting anything BUT it came back immediately with Trojan Stubby C Downloader. I rightclicked, sent it to the rycycle bin. This hung when I tried to empty it but it did do it eventually. A further virus scan produced a couple of Trojan components then nothing. This was 3 days ago since then I have had no pops ups at all, no Trojan pop up warnings and virus scans havent produced it anywhere. Im not saying this has solved it but its certainly looking promising it just seems too simple for such an annoying virus but maybe they overlooked the obvious.
How do you fix your computer after a virus has deleted some files from windows?
What to do if your computer is infected with a virus.
Sometimes even an experienced user will not realise that a computer is infected with a virus. This is because viruses can hide among regular files, or camoflage themselves as standard files
There are a number of symptoms which indicate that your computer has been infected. If you notice "strange things" happening to your computer. Your computer freezes frequently or encounters errors.
Your computer slows down when programs are started.
The operating system is unable to load.
Files and folders have been deleted or their content has changed.
Your hard drive is accessed too often (the light on your main unit flashes rapidly).
Microsoft Internet Explorer freezes or functions erratically e.g. you cannot close the application window.
What you should do if you notice symptoms of infection.
Disconnect your computer from the Internet.
If your computer is connected to a Local Area Network, disconnect it.
If the computer cannot boot from the hard drive (error at startup), try to start the system in Safe Mode or from the Windows boot disk.
Before taking any action, back up all critical data to an external drive (a floppy disk, CD, flash memory, etc.).
Install antivirus software if you do not have it installed and download the latest updates.
Perform a full system scan.
In the vast majority of cases, personal computers are infected by worms, Trojan programs, or viruses. In most cases, lost data can be successfully recovered.
A good antivirus solution will provide the option to disinfect for infected objects, quarantine possibly infected objects and delete worms and Trojans. A report will provide the names of the malicious software discovered on your computer.
In some cases, you may need a special utility to recover data that have been corrupted. Visit your antivirus software vendor's site, and search for information about the virus, Trojan or worm which has infected your computer. Download any special utilities if these are available
Unfortunately, some viruses cannot be removed from infected objects. Some of these viruses may corrupt information on your computer when infecting, and it may not be possible to restore this information. If a virus cannot be removed from a file, the file should be deleted.
If you cannot boot from your hard drive (error at startup), try to boot from the Windows rescue disk. If the system can not recognize your hard drive, the virus has damaged the disk partition table. In this case, try to recover the partition table using scandisk, a standard Windows program. If this does not help, contact a computer data recovery service. Your computer vendor should be able to provide contact details for such services.
If you have a disk management utility installed, some of your logical drives may be unavailable when you boot from the rescue disk. In this case, you should disinfect all accessible drives, reboot from the system hard drive and disinfect the remaining logical drives.
Recover corrupted files and applications using backup copies after you have scanned the drive containing this data.
Check the integrity of the file system on your hard drive (using CHKDSK program) and repair file system errors. If there are a large number of errors, you must backup the most important files to removable storage media before fixing the errors.
Use other standard Windows tools, for example, the scandisk utility.
After you have removed the infection from your computer.
Perform a full system scan and if you are using XP, make sure system restore is turned off or you might infect your computer all over again.
Make sure that you have appropriately configured antivirus software installed on your computer.
Re-connect your computer to the Internet........
How do you remove the Trojan horse downloader VB 3 F detected in system volume information?
try this - If the virus is in the system volume information Download AVG from Grisoft.com, it is free. AVG will not pick it up straight away though. Follow the steps in this page and run AVG complete test. 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).
Which measures are you most likely to implement in order to protect against a worm or trojan horse?
Well if you are using Windows OS then i suggest you to install a very good antivirus program and keep updating the thing and have a complete scan regularly once in while. The most important thing is that whenever you download things from the internet or copy things from anybody's data drive make sure you make a through scan of the drive with your trusted antivirus program. Also if you are using MS Windows XP then right click and explore the folder instead of clicking on it, that will reduce activation of viruses to a certain level.(*primitive measures)
