Trojan Virus Help!

I have found out that I have a trojan and need help in getting rid of it.

Does anyone know of a FREE site to get RID of this trojan?

Trojan.Win32.Agent.Aik variant


I used to play World Of Warcraft and I thought I would get back in for old times sake to see what was up.
Well after going through all of the patching for the updates I get this message that they have detected that I have this trojan and if I wish to play it would be at my own risk.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated

I've been happy with SpySeeper. But the real difference came when I switched my browser to FireFox's Mozilla.

AVG Grissoft I found better than Norton as it sniffed out some that Norton had let in. I do sometimes have to go to program file scan each directory to find the one hiding then deleate the sucker.

Found http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww02112p this about your WOW updates.

As a note, if you use System Restore, you may remove the virus/trojan etc.. but the malicious code is still in 1 or more restore points. So, if you do another System Restore at a point where the code was, you will aquire the code again. When using SR and are at a safe point, you need to purge all of your SR points. Then you won't have any issues if you use SR again in the future.

Best advise when you have cleared the Trojan, is to use the minimum of MS programs. Use as suggested, Firefox. Get the IE tab extension for those sites that don't like to play with FF. Use a different E-Mail program.

how do you purge SR points .. you got to know now you`re talking to someone who is still rubbing sticks together to make fire when it comes to computor stuff. ( make it so simple a cave man can do it ) wait a minute ... is that a insurance commercial

Spybot - Search & Destroy. It's free, and the updates are free. It's the best software I have EVER used to remove trojans. Trust me, I have been using it for several years now and have not had a single problem with my computer since. The best part is that is has an immunization option that will block known bad sites (not realtime so it doesn't eat up system resources) that are common redirects from potentially bad sites. It will also check your computer's registry for inconsistencies. I recomend it. Just do a goole search for it (don't know if I can post links to other sites).
