Default Trojan Flush.M


Are you just running Norton Anti-Virus? What anti-spyware programme are
you running?

Trojan Flush M from the Norton report sounds to relatively minor but it
could be a symptom of other malware. Some will change passwords.

I would download and run Spybot S & D (freeware version) and see if it
finds anything like a Trojan. If Spybot S & D finds anything significant
( other than cookies) you need to be wary. If it removes something and
it returns or another nasty pops up it can be an indication that there
is another hidden nasty not being detected by Norton or Spybot.
Spybot S & D. There is a freeware version buried in this link:

If you still have problems you might try Malwarebytes. This is currently
making a considerable impact, although I have not tried it myself. I
believe it is shareware ( purchase after trial ). You should not run
two anti-virus programmes at the same time so you will need to turn off
Norton before running Malwarebytes.

I tried to follow the instructions for manual removal of this virus, however it instructed me to restart windows in safe mode and then a full scan. When I tried to do this I was asked for a administration password , but I bought this computer second hand and have no idea what this pasword is! Also my computer is now acting very strange , programs are disappearing when I re start the computer and when I try to view the c drive I get an error message which states " WINDOWS CANNOT FIND RESYDED /BOOT.COM OR RESYCLED/BOOT.COM I am desperate not to lose the many important family files on this computer, such as photos and videos, can someone please help me with this very annoying problem. Thanks in advance. Ta
