Solve : Screen saver D/L & TROJAN?

Answer»

A friend Downloaded some screen saver software and was PROMPTED to restart. After doing so, he tried to reconnect to the Internet and a "page cannot be displayed" screen. He then ran AVG & MS ANti-spyware. AGV found a TROJAN and healed it.

He is RUNNING Xp.

Is it possible to do a system restore to rid of it?

His Internet still shows a "page cannot be displayed" screen.

Please advise Do other internet applications works?He said he tried to do an AVG update and it couldn't access the internet. Quote

Has he removed all threats?

If he has, see if this is of any USE.He "healed" the trojan.

I will show him your link. thanks.

Will a system restore help ?Kellee......  It sounds LIKE the infection is still there .....I would be going into safe mode and rerunning the AV scan as well as Antispyware .........
The last thing your friend should do is use system restore... in fact he should turn it off until he is certain he has no further threats.
