Okay, so maybe I deserved it because I wasn't careful, BUT who deserves a Trojan to attempt to attack their com?... Well, okay I kinda deserved it... XD!
Trojans are similar to viruses, but are less severe; a .exe file downloaded with a program that you are about to install is descretely inserted (in my case) into a set of bin files and when you scan the program before installing, it's dormant, so guess what? Ya don't catch it!
Anyway, so after I installed the thing, I restarted my com and soon after, the fun began...
There's a lil' globe on the right side of your monitor that allows access to and from the internet on your com; it's called Norton Internet Security. Well, as soon as my computer rebooted, the thing shot out 'Netspy Trojan horse blocked'........ Uh oh... So, I quickly began to scan my com with Norton in order to get the files out before they drowndededed me in url's and windows... Nothing... BUT, the Security was holding up! I quickly did a search for the Netspy and deleted all my cookies from my com, but this was a new type of Trojan; which meant it acted from a .exe file SOMEWHERE in my com... -__-; So, I quickly did a search for all the files accessed within the last couple of days. There were ALOT, so I decided to look at the place Norton was scanning and blocking access from; it said somewhere in my D:\\ drive, so I narrowed the search to that drive... Three folders, and ONE of those folders was one I had never accessed before; a common "bin" folder... I opened it up and tried to place each file in the recycling bin; the reason for this was that the Trojan was in use, so if you try to stick something in the recycling bin while it's being used, it won't take!
All the files went into the recycling bin except one; a file named "CANamingAdapter.exe"! The heart of the Trojan...
This file however, had to be stopped! So, I renamed it "JayJay" after my favorite cameo character from PGSM, heehee! You know him, guys! The one that ripped Neph off by selling him those ridiculous horns! XD! Anyway, I digress... I renamed it and shut off all access to the internet; this is important, because it helps in the next step! I quickly shut down my com, and restarted it! I logged in, and RACED to the same location I had just been to before; where the newly named JayJay lay in momentary confuzzledness... Before the computer could fully boot, and begin running the Trojan once more, I highlighted and deleted it!!!!!!!!!!! It WORKED!!! I KICKED THE TROJAN'S ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
PH33R T3H 1337 \/\/3B/\/\/-\573RRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, if you ever have this same problem, these are the steps to solving it! And ALWAYS remember; Trojans are only as smart as the people that made them~...
Victoly! XD!!!
