    Once Renos.y trojan is deeply embedded into your system, the only solution may be to re-format the drive and re-install the OS and everything from scratch. If you have Renos.y on your system then the attacker has probably pulled down other unwanted software from a remote server and installed it (this may still unknown to you or your virus scanners) to turn your PC into a zombie to be used in DDOS attacks or a key stroke logger to get your personal information.

    This being said.... it may be good to look at the methodical spyware removal procedure found at:

    A note for those interested. I bought a Hotbrick load balancing box. I thought it was a hardware firewall, it is not. I failed the shields up test with it.

  3. Best way to get rid of trojans is via Ad_aware.. Easy to download and free.

  4. This software never seems to be mentioned, but it has cleaned garbage that SpyBot and AVG couldn't clean or find.

    SuperAntiSpyware

    I don't run it realtime, but have the free version to do periodic scans.

  5. I run a suite of programs periodically, AV, Spybot, Widows Defender, and a couple of others, I have had a couple of items that none of my free programs would pick up, so I bought Spyware Doctor for $30.00. It has picked up what the others did not.

    Yes, but it's better a real time protection

    So you should install Spyware Terminator (free)

    Ad-aware is now bullshit and it's not an Antivirus
