Problem - possible virus

Postby Starrywalsh » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:03 pm

Ok, this is happening today since I tried to open a message on facebook.

I opened message, Avast security told me there was a Trojan Horse detected, recommend I put it in a "chest" so I did.

Now if I open my home page google, and say type "miniclub" ..click the link to miniclub.ie - a new page opens - and takes me to a website called march-find.com

Luckily I have MCOI in my favorites, please help.

I tried a system restore, but it didnt solve it.

Yup, whatever it is, you're computer sent me the same message on Facebook, so I ignored it.

Best thing to do is get the latest copy of Avast antivirus, Spybot Spyware removal, and Adaware Adware removal. Run all 3, and delete anything they find.
