I think it is the back door trojan making my computer run all choppy....it says its been quaratined, not only has the internet explorer been slow but, when trying to access my hard drive and my documents it sometimes freeze's.  I've also been getting some program error message like....a C++ message dealing with internet explorer...Any help, i've looked at the symantec page to try and find out how to fix it, and it show's the steps but im on 17and dont kno a lot about the registry and all.........i dont wanna mess anything up

go to the pandasoftware.com Site and once you scan it, it'll delete it for you. Hope this helps..  

The above posts pretty much are telling you like it is.  If your software is reporting that the Trojan is quarantined, then it cannot possibly be causing your problem.  Sometimes slow response on a computer can be as simple as a heavily fragmented HDD, or perhaps the memory modules need to be taken out and reinserted (not making good contact), or the CPU (if it is in a ZIF socket) needs to be loosened then tighted again for better contact, or perhaps you just need to do a reinstall of your O/S right over the top of what you have.  (Just did that for my son's machine and it fixed 1/2 ton of his problems.

As for getting rid of your Trojan, steer yourself to www.trendmicro.com and let them scan you for free ...they'll delete (or give you the option to delete) your Trojan without trashing your system.  Also, in this day and age it is wise to have software that is Trojan-specific.  I use TDS-3 (from DiamondCS) and another called Trojan Hunter.  Either of them are excellent at detecting Trojans, yet I prefer TDS-3.  Both will also detect hidden ADS-Streams, but again TDS-3 is more accurate at doing that as well.  (Trojan Hunter gives me oodles of 'false positives' on ADS-Streams.  Anyway, either one of those programs will safely git rid of most every Trojan out there ...even if it is a mutex (unrecognized).

Think it over as it is worth the investment ...I think there are a few "free" anti Trojan 'wares' kicking around too.  You also can't go wrong using free programs like SpyBot, SpyWareBlaster and AdAware either.  They go A LONG WAY in protecting (and detecting) crap that you DO NOT want on your system (like Adware, Spyware, Malware, Extortionware...etc).

If your Trojan is quarantined, just use the program that did it to delete it.  If it says it can't, take yourself to any of the aforementioned sites in the posts prior to this one, or use www.trendmicro.com.  You'll be fine.

Cheers!

I'll try trojan hunter 4, because I dont know too much about TDS-3. Oh and whoever told me to download the pandasoftware....That caused me so much hell, it downloaded fine then locked my computer. When i would restart my cpu, it wouldnt let me choose a profile to log in as. That and it made my computer so freaking slow..........I had to reboot in safe mode and do a system restore....

I recently purchased Norton Internet Security 2005 and are very happy with that, blocked alot of intruders. I used to have NOD 32 and it worked great too, but i had trouble with auto update (wonder why) so i had some trojans  

I still randomly check my puter online with other antivirus programs like housecall, no one has found any virus after i installed Norton.

Norton take some resourses but its very easy to use
