Default Trojan Flush.M

That's strong language! It does depend on what was paid for the computer
and whether the lack of a Windows XP CD ( if the new owner does not have
one ) was covered in negotiations before purchase?

HI there,

I am running Norton Anti - Virus and it has reported that i have a
virus
called Trojan Flush M and no matter what I try I can not remove this
virus. 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!


Unless the previous owner of the PC set a different password for
Administrator, that password is usually blank.

The bigger issue is the fact that you neglected to perform a clean
install of the operating system when you first started to use this PC,
which is always preferred whenever someone obtains a second-hand
computer. What is the make and model of this PC? What method do you
have to reinstall Windows? Hopefully, if there is a disk, you
obtained it along with the PC! Otherwise, you was robbed.
