Default Re: with all the reported viruii, please tell me what this is..

If you're really concerned about a virus, do the following:

(1) Download HiJack This available at:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/

This software will list all programs that run when you start your computer.

(2) Do a System Scan, and look through the list. Any ones you are scared of at all, simply type the name into google.

For example, you see:

C:\Program Files\WinUpdate\winupdate.exe

Google winupdate.exe and BOOM! Tells you it's a trojan, and usually how to take care of it.

Or any you're concerned about, feel free to PM me your HiJackThis log and I can look through them.
