How do you remove Trojan Virus? My McAfee program can't seem to getrid of it.
I keep getting re-directed when I used search engines. I think I have
trojan virus. Is that what the trojan virus does? Screws up searches on google and yahoo? I ran McAfee several times, and each time it detected and removed NTOSKRNL-HOOK (Trojan). And, my searches on google and yahoo are back to normal again. But, few days later, I start getting redirected to funny sites when I do searches again. So, I re-run the McAfee scan and it says it detected and removed the Trojan hook again. How can I get rid of it permanently? Is the SPYHUNTER download software on this site worth it and effective? : http://www.wiki-security.com/wiki/ov...egory/Trojans/ Thanks in advance. |

Oops - you did identify it. Did it give any other clues? Try the Malwarebytes and if that doesn't do it, run MBAM again in safe mode. Does Start, Run, regedit work? How about Start, Run, cmd? Please report back. |

I think I have only booted in safe mode twice in my life. |

I imagine virus can be different but one got past my McAfee and when I restored computer to previous date but McAfee would not work and I had to remove it. Rather than reinstall I thought I'd try free Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html and it found and removed the Trojan virus. Been about 6 trouble free weeks now. The virus had reverted my computer to about the day I had bought it and none of my files were there including new programs I had installed. It was frightening but fortunately Vista restored to a previous date and all was OK. McAfee is free from Comcast isp but for me has always been a PITA as a resource hog. |

There is no such thing as a "trojan virus" despite what you may have heard. Mostly, search engine hijacks and browser hijacks are adware/foistware related. I ran McAfee several times, and each time it detected and removed NTOSKRNL-HOOK (Trojan). And, my searches on google and yahoo are back to normal again. But, few days later, I start getting redirected to funny sites when I do searches again. So, I re-run the McAfee scan and it says it detected and removed the Trojan hook again. How can I get rid of it permanently? You may be getting rid of it just fine, but then re-exposing yourself to the foistware by visiting certain sites with your security settings to lenient. Is the SPYHUNTER download software on this site worth it and effective? : http://www.wiki-security.com/wiki/ov...egory/Trojans/ I don't know too much about that one, but I don't think they will help you as much as increased security will. If you really are being only partially cleaned by McAfee (or other antimalware), I would suggest MalwareBytes Antimalware (MBAM) and SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) because of the good recommendations I hear about them in these security related newsgroups. |

McAfee is free from Comcast isp but for me has always been a PITA as a resource hog. I agree about McAfee - I have Comcast also. Slow and a resource hog like you said, plus it never found a darn thing. Now it is history. I am up on MBAM for the moment. Never tried SAS, but might. I think he means it like - "the TROJAN virus!", like that is the name given to the virus, TROJAN. I'm sticking with "malicious software" to be safe. Good to know about the safe mode thing... |

I'm sticking with "malicious software" to be safe. Malware (malicious software) is the correct umbrella term. A virus is a particular type of recursively self-replicating malware. |
