I have a Trojan called "iworm_attk_v122.02a" Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?\nI have tried using Norton Anti-Virus and my spyware remover and they both miss it. How can I destroy this unwanted spyware!?

There is a free online virus scan called Trend Micro. I have been using it for 3 years and I've never had a problem. Otherwise you can delete it yourself by finding the registry key and the file where it is located on your computer. I wouldn't recommend that to someone who isn't computer savvy though.

I suggest that you install a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton,  AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software  and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at\nhttp://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

Most browser hijackers alter default home pages and search pages to those of their customers, who pay for that service because of the traffic it generates. More virulent versions often: add bookmarks for pornographic Web sites to the users' own bookmark collection; generate pornographic pop-up windows faster than the user can click them shut; and redirect users to pornographic sites when they inadvertently mistype a URL or enter a URL without the www. preface. Poorly coded browser hijackers -- which, unsurprisingly, are common -- may also slow your computer down and cause browser crashes

Batman, now u really gotta believe me, i have a trojan attack before, called SpyAxe, its really irritating, i cant remove it through the "Add/Remove" program on my computer. everytime i reboot, the SpyAxe comes back again. TRUST ME, DO NOT use another program, like the other answerers here said, to delete it. delete it manually, even if it takes a lot of time, like having to reboot to safemode n all that. yes it does work for some of these anti-spyware programs, BUT why am i stopping you, why? coz SpyAxe actually claims to be such an anti-spyware program, but it actually attached a trojan horse virus with it, that causes SpyAxe to appear each time we reboot our com. some pple couldnt stand it n decided to pay SpyAxe to remove the trojan. its all a scam from Spyaxe. to know more abt this spyaxe, u can search in Yahoo. i also found out how to remove the trojan manually through a search done in Yahoo, which brought me to a forum page(pls click on link below) where many others also caught this SpyAxe problem. the forum also states many other computer problems.\n\nin the 1st place, the reason i chose to delete this SPyAxe manually is becoz i needed to pay the other programs to delete the trojan. its really ridiculous rite? n u know what, wad i'm gonna say next is true, i read this from the forum page submitted by real pple.. this guy actually couldn't stand seeing the Spyaxe after rebooting his com everytime, so he download another anti-spyware program to get rid of the trojan, since he knows that SpyAxe is the one who actually attached the trojan with itself so pple who click on SpyAxe's advertisement n scan their PCs for free will get the trojan infection(whereby the scan results will show that u haf many viruses on your PC, which is not true). then they will ask u to download SpyAxe(there is a fee for using Spyaxe) to remove the trojan for you. then this guy, he downloaded other program, n PAID them, but it didnt work. he was so pissed off, he couldnt stand it, he actually decided to pay SpyAxe to remove e trojan for him!! n here comes the WORSE part... SpyAxe is not an anti-spyware prgm at all! e guy called the no. to look for SpyAxe management team, n the number actually was to a flower shop!! i didnt know whether to laugh or to cry when i saw this in the forum. tt's y i would really advise u to del e trojan manually urself, rather than download some other program to remove it. u will never know what u are downloading.\n\ni deleted it manually and it really did work, i didnt even need to spend a cent. even better, if your PC has a 'system recovery' program, u can juz restore it to an earlier time, a time before the trojan infected your PC. i know ACER computers have this program, n some other brands too. Mine is an ACER laptop, but too bad i didnt set a restore date so i couldn't use this program to help me. if your PC has this program too, do set a restore date where everything in your PC is working fine. you'll thank your lucky stars when you really need to use this program. \n\nBatman, REALLY< BELIEVE ME OK? i spent so much time typing this answer! good luck to you!! do check out the link, there are forums abt other PC problems, forums are best coz those are the pple who have the same problem n they have solved it using their ways, always finish reading every message in the forum, coz some might say this particular way works, but some say no. u haf to read through the whole thing to get the best solution.\n\nHope to hear from u how u removed the trojan, i noe how irritating it can be. do email me at yuni_chan88@yahoo.com.sg ok? thanks! =]

download adaware by searching for it on yahoo... it gets rid of most spyware. You can also try to do a system restore if your pc supports it.

you don't mention which trojan you have so it will be hard for anyone to give specific information.\n\nA trick that I've used in the past when AVG stumbled across an infected file that it couldn't delete or quarantine is:\n\n1. Copy the entire contents of the affected folder, minus the infected file (select all, then whilst holding the ctrl key, click on the infected file, then right click one of the highlighted files & select 'copy').\n\n2. Create a new folder on the desktop & paste what you've copied into that folder.\n\n3. Write down the exact name & location of the folder containing the affected file, and then delete the entire folder. (if this doesn't work, check the 'read only' status in properties - it should be unchecked.\n\n4, Rename the folder that you copied the files to, to the name of the folder that you deleted, then cut it, and paste it in the same location as the folder you deleted. \n\nYou should now have everything as it was before, minus the infected file.\n\nThe above assumes that you have tried & failed in manually deleting the affected file in windows explorer - if not, try that 1st, remembering to check the read only status of the file.\n\nEDIT: I gotta agree with ashutosh. I'm a former norton user who converted to AVG - after 18 months I've had a small fraction of the grief that i experienced with norton products.

This one was a real pain to get rid of when my wife ran across it. The article I'm linking to at the bottom was a big help.\n\nYou will need to download the files they recommend, reboot in safe mode, run their tools and possibly (as I had to do) delete several dll's by hand (or rename them if you can't delete) then run ad-aware, spybot, windows startup inspector reboot in normal mode and run an online virus scanner (such as pandsoftware.com).\n\nVery frustrating but I think that just about did it.\n\nGood luck.

It's a trojan.  You need to get some good spyware/adware removers and run them on your system.  No one anti virus/anti spy will remove all infections.\n\nGoogle for the following:\nAdaware\nSpybot S & D\nEwido (if you are running Win2K or newer)\nYahoo anti spy\nMicrosoft Beta anti spy\n\nDownload, install, update and run them in safe mode (tap the F8 key before your welcome screen appears)\n\nDelete anything they find.  Good luck, and get yourself a good firewall.\n\nAVG has instructions in their forum as to how to remove these also.
