Try this freeware.



Norman Malware Cleaner, which can detect and remove more than 2,000,000 malwares.

Malware Cleaner also fix the registry damage by the malwares.

No registration and installation required.



You just need to click and run the program.

Another option is UNDLL

UnDLL - The DLL Remover allows you to eliminate the infected DLLs,

which are often used as components of many types of malware (for example, Agent.CS or Virtumonde).



UnDLL - The DLL Remover neutralizes the DLLs loaded into your computer's memory,

cancels them and cleans up some of their Registry keys.

A trojan horse is an executable program that is designed to disrupt or hijack applications on your computer. The reason why these programs are developed are often to initiate other attacks from more advance malware such as spyware.



You need to kill the process and the dll files attached to the trojan. You need to edit the msconfig and registry to stop it from loading startup. Here is a good tutorial:

The easiest way to fix it is using Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware (Download it, update it, do a full scan, and remove everything it finds).



I would also recommend the following programs to make the removal easier and make sure you don't get infected again in the future:

Avira AntiVir Personal

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition
