Good morning, eagles! Happy Friday! Or Saturday for some of you down under!
I hope I don't go into "forum withdrawal this week-end." Our computer has a virus-more about that later. Anyway, unless my husband gets it fixed this week-end, I won't have computer access.We have a busy week-end coming up, but I would miss popping in all the same!
If using Windows XP [?] Run the WINDOWS MALICIOUS SOFTWARE REMOVAL TOOL
This, from Windows Update
On the front page and in left pane CHOOSE > Administrator Options
In the text on main page click text-link to Search the Microsoft Download Centre
Click the RUN ACTIVE X control.... This verifies your PC's GENUINE Operating System
If you see the SILVERLIGHT download screen overlay your page
SELECT 'not at this time'
Find in the text on main pane under New Downloads
and CLICK on, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
DOWNLOAD the program by RUNNING from the windows site
This program, will detect NASTIES and REMOVE THEM from your Windows
However if, this PROBLEM is in a non-windows application
You will need to find a 'freebie' to detect and remove/ quarantine the Baddie
I use WINDOWS DEFENDER....
but I have ALLOWED third party software to install via DEFENDER's permissions list
only to find that I have also received a TROJAN
Administrator's BEWARE.... be sure! that you trust the downloading site
