(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I haven't downloaded anything really that could infect my computer and now I am getting messages that I have a Trojan horse virus! I don't want to have to restore my computer since it is a family computer! What do I need to do!? I did a full system scan already and it removed 10 but when I just got home it showed there were two more!:wtf: What is going on?:\

boot PC into safe mode, depending on your OS, do it without networking enabled, and then when you do that, full virus scan.

Click Start then Run (or in 7, click Start and type it into search box) MSCONFIG

Go to boot tab, tick Safe Mode (with minimal selected), restart PC.

Do your scans, when finished, go back to MSCONFIG, untick safe mode and restart or your PC.
