Win ME
IE6
Anti-virus program Trend PC-cillin
Have no idea where it came from but my anti-virus program has detected a
TROJAN. It first of all renamed it and quarantined it. Then it told me to
delete the host file, (download.exe) which apparently didn't exist. I
deleted a few *download* files but every time I run the program again it
throws up the renamed trojan again. When I do a search for the renamed
file - in this case *C:\PQSC\CPS\000188\FILES\001\056877.DAT* - it tells me
that it is an invalid path.
My restore program is Power Quest Second Chance (apparently redundant now),
hence PQSC, although why the file was renamed that way I don't know. Have
also tried to restore to about a week ago without any success.Is there any
way of accessing something on the web that will help me get rid of the
bloody thing?
TIA

It is apparently reporting the virus in your PQSC restore files.

Thanks Mike,
I don't know what I've done but when trying to go back a few more days in
the restore program I now have the only (back to yesterday) restore point
left and when I run the anti-virus program it reports NO VIRUSES WERE
FOUND - phew! Thanks for your help.
