I seem to be having trouble posting to hackfix. Can you possibly please check
if this email address is registered?
I am a little desperate, so please pardon if I ask a little more here.
My TDS-3 keeps telling me it detects Rat.cabronator, Keylog.God, and Trojan
Dropper.yyyyyyyyy (with two dots over each y) in many of my programs.
I've downloaded a trialware version of PestPatrol, but it sees nothing, and
later scans with TDS-3 say the trojan is in PestPatrol too.
The local computer repairman says AdAware 6 freeware should get everything, and
it did find and remove three registry items. However, there were many TDS-3
entries, 15 or more.
Is the proper way to get at this is with a bootable floppy or cd?
If so, how do I get one? Won't a purchased cd be outdated and fail also?
Then won't updates be corrupted as they download?
How do you get around all this?
Does booting in safe mode enable the antivirus to see things it could not see
normally because of trojan interferance?
I have TDS Port Explorer, but can't seem to interpret what I am looking at.

Good morning
Unless you are 110% sure that the backup is not
infected you could go that route. However it is
probably better to boot to safe mode and let your
antivirus/antitrojan program attempt to remove the
problems for you. Yes you should let the program
delete the whole file one by one.
Before booting into safe mode ensure you have the
most recent update files for your
antivirus/antitrojan programs
Hopefully that will help some
