Q: HOW DO I GET RID OF trojan.win32.LinkReplacer without buying that software which they want u to.!???!? PLZ HELP MEEEEEEE
A: Here is what I would do..... First, you need anti-virus software - download, install and update AVG antivirus (it's free for personal use) - you can find it here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/antivirus-software.html Then remove your System Restore points (viruses love to hide in the System Restore files), but be aware that if you do remove your existing Restore Points you will not be able to "roll back" your computer to a previous configuration. To find out how to disable System Restore see this page - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/disabling_system_restore.html Just to be sure you don't have other malware on your computer I recommend that you download SpyBot Search & Destroy and Adware - both are free spyware/adware detection and removal software. They can be found here http://www.malwaresolutions.com/antispyware-software.html Next, start the computer in Safe Mode - (as the comptuer is starting up, keep tapping the F8 key on your keyboard until you see a special start-up menu) - more on how to start in Safe Mode here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/how-to-start-in-safe-mode.html Using AVG - run a full system virus scan while in Safe Mode After the viruses have been detected and removed, run SpyBot and AdAware (full system scans) then restart the comptuer, enable System Restore again and enjoy a virus-free computing experience. If the problems are still there, try using MSCONFIG to help figure out how to manually disable the Trojan from starting up - see more about MSCONFIG here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/how-to-use-msconfig.html Check out this page for more information on what viruses are - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/what-is-a-computer-virus.html, and this page for how to remove them - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/how-to-remove-computer-viruses.html For those of you who don't have AVG Anti-Virus yet, go here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/antivirus-software.html One other thing you can do is to help prevent malware from getting on your machine is to use a more secure web browser (not Internet Explorer, get rid of AOL) such as Mozilla FireFox - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/about-mozilla-firefox-web-browser.html To help protect against malware you should install a firewall, Zone Alarm works perfectly well and is free - you can find Zone Alarm and other free firewalls here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/download-a-firewall.html Also, don't forget to keep Windows up-to-date - using Microsoft Windows Update!
