I found a trojan and some spyware on the registry of my PC. Would a reinstall restore the registry to when I first bought it? The thing is, I’ve done that, and the trojan and spyware still shows up in the registry keys when I do a scan.

I keep on receiving WinFixer and clone popups (clones: ErrorSafe, WinAntivirusPro2007, etc.). Though I have Ad-Aware and AVG Free, it still does not completely remove the trojan, does anyone know how to completely remove this problem? Thank you.

I use AVG internet security already which is quite comprehensive, has anti virus, firewall,, anti spyware etc etc. but are they any other programs you would recommend?

Ie a registry cleaner, a trojan remove etc etc?

So. The cable guy came over to fix our internet connection, because it wasn’t working since we came back from vacation. He went on my laptop in the living room and the pointer went haywire (I don’t have a mouse, it’s just a touch pad). He said, "Looks like you have a trojan" and I was like whatever. That was the first time it happened.. but now it’s happening more often. And now I can’t connect to the internet, even when I’m right next to the signal thingy.Sorry if I’m vague and non-descriptive but I don’t know much about routers and stuff.. so here goes.
There are 3 computers in the house. 2 have wireless connection and 1 is wired. We don’t have dial-up, and we the company that gives us our internet is the same as the one that gives us cable and phone connection. My mom’s computer works fine in my room but my laptop doesn’t (they’re both wireless). The black rectangular prism shaped box by my sister’s computer with the blinking lights that say cable, send, receive and power (among others) is brand Scientific Atlanta and is model DPR2320R2. It also says cable modem/gateway. The signal thingy that is connected to it is D-Link. Also, the internet connection detection thing in the bar in the bottom right corner on my laptop says that my wireless internet connection is excellent, but even then I can’t view any pages in Firefox. I ran a virus scan but all I found was something with Win32 in it, and the virus program couldn’t remove it.. Right now I’m running trend micro house call (online virus scanner). If it helps, I defragged my computer this morning after running Eusing’s free registry cleaner (380 problems detected). I’m really sorry if this isn’t enough information, just ask if you need any more. Thank you 🙂

Question pretty much sums it up, a couple of days ago I got the Antivirus XP Pro 2009 Malware/Data Miner/Trojan and I’ve been working around the clock to try and clean it up. I’ve tried all sorts of things including SUPERAntiSpyware Pro and Malwarebytes’ Anti Malware to clean it up, but after the full system scan they seem to come up as nothing wrong. I also cleaned up infected registry keys, well, I think I cleaned them all up, and I also deleted some processes from task manager. I tried SpyHunter, the eval version, and then I manually deleted the infected files, and I have a hijack this log if anyone wants it. Anyway, what’s next? What do I do? Is the best option just getting my media and work and getting a new computer? Thanks everyone
