Havard Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Can someone give me a bit of advice. After my son has been having a dabble on my laptop, he seems to have gone on a bit of a merry go round on the internet!! I have now got a yellow triangle with a in it warning me of a trojan!! What does this mean? There is also another popping up every couple of mins saying that there is unwanted spyware on there?? I am going to return the laptop to work on Friday but in the meantime, what should I do?? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Run a virus check mate ASAP and if you've got decent anti-virus it will find and delete the software. Oh, and a trojian means a huge horse is going to come out of the DVD slot A trojian virus is a virus that opens up your computer to people who want to gain personal information about you via the internet. They are usually embedded in other programs and can be quite hard to remove. Anti virus programs will usually pick them up and fix them but sometimes they can be overlooked.

Gaz6002 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Oh, and I wouldn't plug your laptop into any networks (especially work) if I were you in case the trojian infects anything else. And tell your son to stay off the dirty sites lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you we're a bit of a god on computers to visit these. You got away light there man, mate wrecked his unit in two "visits". Glad you're sorted mate.
