trojan update.
Well for the american's amongst you, I've been told that the computer has a big condom on it but its not giving any of us pleasure *or* protection....now the smut's over.....(and that was K's mums joke!)
After running antivirus and deleting 1 (yes 1) file we then cleaned the registry autorun locations (which symantec stupidly omits to tell you). We then used spywareblaster to clean the default web start and search pages. Google webbar was installed to remove popups and then cwshredder was installed which detected CWS.JKSearch and we removed it. A reboot later and then adaware was installed on the machine which found another 108 spyware infections on the machine. (it was 78 before we rebooted after running cwshredder :-(
Unfortunately we now have a (new) toolbar at the *bottom* of the screen entitled "search bar" which hopefully will be removed with adaware as its now ten to midnight and I *REALLY* need some sleep after yesterdays
