Re: Help, my computer has been hijacked!

Iain, Thanks for your help! While I was waiting for someone to respond I came across a post for users self help which had a download link and instructions for the Trojan Vundo called VundoFix.exe. I ran it lastnight and by this morning it had finished. It found 4 files and removed 3 of them, and as per the instructions I re-booted and I am right now running it again during boot-up. Hopefully it will remove the last file in my system32 folder and I will post the info you need as soon as that's done and let you know how it turned out. I ran Panda's ActiveScan before this and if you could believe it, it found and disinfected around 5,000 viruses! It also found around 80 something spyware and 6 rootkits that are still invading. This is a hand-me-down desktop I picked up for my one of my kids to do their homework assignments and surf My Space. Thanks again for responding. Pete
