Virus help

Richieh · 2003-12-16 09:55:00

I hope this is the correct forum for this, if not, sorry. I found a virus on my PC yesterday called Trojan Horse Downloader.Darpa.A. I have a freeware version of AVG antivirus (which I hadn't updated in a couple of weeks) that was unable to remove it. Is it possible to remove this in any way and if I can't, will it do…

I have a freeware version of AVG antivirus (which I hadn't updated in a couple of weeks) that was unable to remove it. Is it possible to remove this in any way and if I can't, will it do much/any damage to my machine? I'm one of 3 users on Windows Small Business Server. Will it do any damage to any of the other machines either? Thanks in advance

Boot to safe mode, delete the file. Remove associated registry entries. Reboot. Get a decent AV product.
