Default Trojan Flush.M

Install the 2 programs below, and scan with them in Safe mode, as well as
with your Anti-virus.
When you go to Safe Mode, you don't need to be in the Admin account; just
sign in with your User Account.
If there is no option for that, usually the Admin account password is left
blank.

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

Download, install, and update.

Important Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D
while in Safe Mode.

If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode:
Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating
Programs to remove them.
If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and install, update
and scan from there.

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!


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.
