    Hi all.

    I've had a look through here about how to remove a trojan or virus and to be honest it all becomes gobbledygook after the firts or second post!

    Can anyone tell me how to remove a trojan/mailware/spyware from my computer?

    Any free sites etc? I downloaded spyware doctor but its only a trial version and have to buy it to remove the programs but I dont have a credit card! Its telling me I have a few different infections.

    Many thanks!

    Download this:
    http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    The freeware version.
    Update (update button)
    Run scan,
    Remove selected. Restart.

    This may or may not work. Some crap is worse than others to remove from your PC and the information above it highly condensed.
