Hi it is me (the one with the virus)

Dec 13, 2003 1:17AM PST

Nothing work on getting rid of the trojan horse Aclicker.A so I recover my whole pc. Now before I download AVG 6 again ( it didn't get rid of the virus and this was secound time I got it and had to recover my pc) is there a anti-virus that I should get. I really don't want to do this again. Thank You for all the helpyou gave me but it just didn't work.

If your Antivirus removal engine, manual deletion as per instruction, disabling System Restore, booting in safe mode before deleting the traces, running Spybot-S&D failed to get rid of the Adclicker.A Trojan. Try running an online scan using any of the following:

Kaspersky - http://www.kaspersky.com/remoteviruschk.html
Panda ActiveScan- http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/activescan-com.asp
Housecall - http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Or try to use
Stinger - http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
Panda Quickremover - http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/

is there a anti-virus that I should get.

Only install an Antivirus into a clean system. Or install an Antivirus that has the option to scan the system for viruses before installation.

Tighten up your IE settings...

assuming IE is your default browser. Disable "install on demand" for starters. Check out this thread for more ideas.
