Hi all,
I have got some virus/trojan/hack whatever that I belive I have got rid of.
Only thing left, as far as I can see, is that in bottom right side bar
(where clock
is) ther is still an icon left. The icon looks like a shield, blinking every
second
with white cross over red plate/question mark over blue plate. I have now
searched
all over how to "control" this part of the bottom bar. I've been searching
my msconfig startup aswell as regedit with some help after Google arround
concerning this. The icon itself is a link to a "security" homepage and I
can't
"right-click" and close it. There is also no "bubble" when moving mouse ontop
of it.

Been scanning with Norton, AVG aswell as two online scanners, so Im pretty
sure
I got rid of any viruses.

Now I just wanna get rid of this last thingy...

I'm sorry to tell you this but your computer is still not clean. Do the
preparatory steps here:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Then do the specific removal steps here:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Smitfraud_Trojan -
Smitfraud, Spyaxe, Spyfalcon

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

my puter, but at least I know I have to fix it.
