Norton is crap, could be a false positive.
Try using NOD32 (www.eset.co.uk)
Since it's christmas, if you PM me ill help you set up the full version for free, bear in mind it could be deamed as pirating though.
but its only when i try uninstall AIM but im confused cos why wood sum1 who fixed my comp hhave a trojen hiden in a file like AIM

Clicked uninstall. This trojan is just nonscense.
Ok basically if your still worried that your computer is infected with virus' I would recomend the following:
install MBAM (malwarebytes)
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Just the free version will be fine.
After installing make sure it is up-to-date by using the update tab :)
run a full scan, removing any infected objects...
install AVG Free
www.free.avg.com
after installing, make sure your up-to-date aswell.
go to scanning and start a full computer scan go to advanced options -> set the slider to slow scan, this will scan in more detail.
Again after the above do a quick scan with mbam just to make sure...
:) hope this helps in some form...
it may also help to empty your startup (run -> msconfig -> startup) and then reboot your pc before scanning but that is of a different matter, if you still need any assitance please don't be afraid to catch me on msn:

Running two AV's will obviously clash.
I think a donkey could have figured this out..
AV1 -> "I detect this file is infected"
AV2 -> "This file is clean"
Norton is crap, so that's obviously AV1, remove AV1 and keep AV2.
Calon, if thats in reply to my post,
MBAM = Malware removal tool
AVG = Antivirus/Antispyware
:) it's now recommended well, has been for a while, to have anti malware tool :) x
In the thread starters screenshot, he has AVG and Norton so he's just picking up on that I think. :)Quote:
