Trojan AAQN - question from a newbie pam 09-16-2008

If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options


I am running XP with AVG; medium high security for browsing (IE) and no pop
ups. I have had various trojans over the last few weeks, not sure of the
source. Another person using the computer now and then plays some online
games, but it could have perhaps come in through email, we have many contacts
at this address. AVG got rid of some of the trojans. I tried the program at
onecare.live.com , and it seemed OK after a restart, but after a few minutes
AVG spotted a Trojan AAQN. I tried to get Microsoft Defender but regardless
of what I change the security settings to, even (reluctantly) zero, I get a
screen message saying it can't download because of my security settings.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks....

To use this utility, perform the following...

Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal

[F8 key

in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
