Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 My Laptop has a Trojan Virus, nothing seems out of the ordinary and the Trend Micro site claims it is low risk. It is called "TROJ_VB.ABP". Trend Micro can't get rid of it, what should I do?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 I had a virus. My software told me where it was and I found it and manually deleted it. IF you can do this, do it. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on doing that anyway, there's alot of stuff on this PC gonna be a big job i didnt mean that, what i mean is pretty easy, just go to system tools, (or something like that i dont know the name in english) and select system restauration, select a date before your problem, and your pc will eliminate everything after that date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrcrow Posted February 8, 2008 Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 You mean re-install Windows? I was planning on doing that anyway, there's alot of stuff on this PC gonna be a big job system restore isnt reinstalling just going back to some date in the past when the virus wasnt there etc.. if you are running norton stuff it disconnects system restore so dont be disappointed if you cant do it my tip..if you have norton..is to uninstall and use AVG or other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for all the inputs guys, turns out Trend Micro couldn't get rid of it because it was in "Quarantine". It's all gone now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
