Hi there
AVG informs me that the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\rdsndin.exe
has been infected with the Trojan Horse Clicker.FR was using the trial version of AVG but when that ran out guard was down

Have tried CCleaner, Spybot SD, CWShredder all to no avail....
Symptoms are:
- when 'clicking' on a link i always get redirected to another website
- general slowness with IE
- spybot now takes 20 mins. to scan whereas before scan time was about 5 mins.
- have fixed spyware through SD but it appears theres some ware still lurking in there somewhere

i use Windows 9*cough*8 SE

here is my log:

Id appreciate any help...mainly im wondering whetehr or not this problem can be fixed manually as im on the verge of a reformat.

I want you to go to the following site and follow the directions exactly. Including the online trend micro scan(Do a full scan).

Also dont worry about ms antispy in this link. It wont work on win 98 everything else should though.

yea i tried that stuff...as recommended by the sticky instructions on this forum....although my computer was behaving as if malware was installed in fact it was the trojan files that were causing the problems.
AVG had picked up some indication of this so i gave a program called 'trojanremover' a run - which was a jolly good effort but ineffective....
now, i was advised on installing antvirguard found at antivir.deand all problems were solved!!! (go for the 'classic' version - its free)
i had to uninstall AVG but this is no big deal considering the german might that would proceed....
it took 30 mins to scan my C drive in ALL its entirety and found 5 trojan files (completely undetected and unresolved by AVG) and fixed them all....now everythings back to normal and ive got a solid anitvirus program backing everything up.
vorsprung durch technik and all that.....
thanks.
