HELP!!!...

I duno how but I came home tonte booted up my PC and it started going haywire!...

1) Trying to Dial every 5 mins (I'm on Broadband but there is still a 56K modem in there) I get a 'Click' and the 'Traffic Light' thing appears in the taskbar.

2) There appears to be a new Dialup-Networking connection called "Coolweb" (I think this is causing No1), I've run CWS but it found nothing!.

3) There is a Program in 'Add and Remove Programs' called OIN which won't go (I've googled and its not a nice Trojan!).

Ad-Aware and Spybot don't seem to be able to solve these problems!... I've got AVG running a scan (as I type).. I'm at my whits end!... How do I stop/Remove these DAMN TROJANS/SPYS/DIALERS.

Help Please!.. :(
 
I've now found 'Previx1' which has cleaned out 10 Malware programs and sits in the background and monitors any programs that fire up, if it doesn't recognise a program (or if it does and its a nasty one) it asks you if it should block/remove it or allow it to run (once to test, or always)...

I then ran CC-Cleaner, Hyjack-This, Ad-aware and Spybot again and they picked up the rest...

I then ran all three (SBSaD, Ad-A, P1) again and they all give me a 100% clean system!..

Previx1 is free for a month (32 days) as a full product (monitoring, sweeping and cleaning) then it becomes just a monitoring program!... or I pay £12 for a years subscription (which I might do in 31 days time if my system stays stable/working)...

might give that 'Hitman' thing a go too! (you can never have too many Spyware scanners) :cool: :cool: :cool:
