Hey lads!

Watch out for this new virus! its a backdoor trogan! very very messy to get off your PC hence why i cant get it off mine!

I have got this Trogan and worm - W32.Magistr.39921@mm

One of my Pc's has 3 infected files! Kernel32.exe and kdll.dll being two of them! now the problem is that those two files are used by windows and therefore do not allow you to delete them!

Has any1 got ne advise on how to get rid of them??

Cheers
