Kaspersky any good?

jaggerwild · 03-16-2009, 12:40 PM

Hello all,
I stopped by as my girlfriend has a computer, and don't want her to have issues with it. I used a free copy of Kaspersky that came with her motherboard (and is up to date as well).

My question is this,
I did a first scan of the entire computer today to find a Trojan "WS32" on it. The software asked me what to do, so I deleted it and all associated files with it. Currently rescanning now, but want to have peace of mind.

Is their other things I can do besides down load and run "highjackthis" to make sure I got ride of it?

***Update, just got done with a scan and it appears clean*** Still like more advice on this!!

Thanks in advance!
