I recently ran a scan on my computer after being without internet for two months due to a move and my antivirus is saying that it's found a trojan, not sure of the name but I was just wondering if I would be able to have some help in possibly removing it or looking at my computers status report and finding if I need help in other areas too.

Thank you,

Sarah

It seems that you don't have any threats, just cookies. you might want to read the how to remove malware tutorial that I have showed you above. That will tell you how to remove the trojan virus that your anti-virus have found.

you have already run superantispyware ( which is NOT an antivirus program)from

http://www.superantispyware.com/

perhaps you could also tell us what your windows version is, what antivirus program you ARE running and what other protection programs you have on board, when last fully updated and run?

you could also try running asquared http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

free exe from

http://download6.emsisoft.com/a2FreeSetup.exe fully update it , reboot into computer safe mode and run a full deep scan

let us know what, if anything it finds?

Did the antivirus scan provide a specific file name associated with this malware threat and if so, where is it located (full file path) at on your system? Could be a "false positive" if you have not used the Internet in some time and your anti-virus was recently updated.
