How do you remove Trojan Virus? My McAfee program can't seemto get rid of it.

Either it is a trojan or a virus. Its one or the other (unless you have a case of a trojan infected with a virus). Saying "trojan virus" ike like saying my car is is a Ford Chrysler. Can't remember exactly what Avast said, but word "Trojan" was there. The way the govmint is mucking up the auto industry, I expect to see a Ford Chrysler one day |

That wouldn't surprise me - but that doesn't make it correct. ) A generally acceptable (but also not entirely correct) hierarchical view is that it is a trojan, unless it recursively self-replicates, in which case it is a worm, unless it attaches it's replicant to code, in which case it is a virus. In actuality the terms are not mutually exclusive. Each virally infected file for instance can be considered a trojan. Worms often first present themselves to the victim as a trojan as part of their lifecycle. Some experts view all replicating code as "virus" and place "worm" as a subtype of virus - trojans don't recursively self-replicate. So it is a trojan unless it recursively self-replicates, in which case it is a virus or worm (which is a type of virus). I think David subscribes to this view. |

If you actually are compromised with a virus (different than simply catching a virus within a file) the only way to be sure is a wipe and reinstall. |
