Virus, Please help!

[Conor]

I got a Back door Trojan sent to me earlier by a fraud on MSN pretending to be someone else. My only security is a fire wall. I have deleted the file from my recycle bin and made sure no traces are left and my computer isn't showing any signs of failure ect. Is there anything else I should do and how can I check for signs of a virus?

EVERYONE BEWARE: Do not accept a zipped file from anyone claiming to send you some facebook photos. I was sent the message from someone posing as another TiBB member, so watch out.

Any help or advice will be appreciated :spin2:

Anyone know what I can do? My computers almost brand new with alot of expensive software and irreplaceable photos and I can't afford any repairs.

If you just want to scan to see if there's any traces of it. Use AVG anti virus, i'll pull up a download link now.

[Big_Brutta]

Run a full system virus scan?

[Chemicle]

Yeah, it's probably the best option, it gets in all of the nooks and crannys, goes through completely EVERY file. So do that one, it might take a while though, but it's better to be save that sorry :colour:

[Sticks]

Also get Windows Defender and run that

[Sticks]

Forgot to mention, WD is a Microsoft product and is free, see the main Microsoft website for where to down load it.

[Conor]

Thanks everyone :)

It seems to be running smoothly now and I've ran a scan/got rid of the virus.
