I have no idea where it came from, but my laptop has been infected with a trojan horse. I knew something happened 2 nights ago when I was just sitting in Facebook, not even doing anything. The screen went wonky and the computer started to act weird. First thing I notice is that AVG has turned off. I immediately get out of everything and turn it back on. then get a few pop ups if I remember correctly. I then went online with Skype and met up with a buddy for our rd of online golf via Tiger Woods 08. My game was choppy and hesitating and Skype was locking on conversation and repeating itself. I attributed this to the fact that I had asked my cable company to change my service from high speed internet down to the lite service as so many people were telling me that it ran almost as fast. It was like dial up if you asked me.
Next day at the office the laptop still seems slow so I run avg and it finds 2 trojan horses. When it finished it said it had put them in the virus vault and I was content to think the problem was gone. I then ran AVG again and this time it found 2 different viruses. I looked them up on google but found very little. Avg put them into the virus vault. Ran avg again and this time it said everything was fine. I have also been getting pop ups telling me that avg needs to be reloaded even while it is running which makes no sense.
Now about a year ago I downloaded the AVG spyware software which was a trial for 30 days, after the 30 days it stopped working and honestly I have not felt the need to purchase it, This morning it shows up on my task bar and it is running again!!! I am actually using it to perform a sweep to see what it finds but something tells me it may be the virus itself fooling me. Who knows what evil is lurking out there.
I know I can go back a week or so and see if it works better, but I am not sure how that works exactly. What will I lose and will the trojan hose really be gone?
