First, unplug your internet. If you have Trojans, you likely have a backdoor, which is allowing hackers to access your computer and run Trojans.



Restart your computer. When it's booting up, before the Windows screen, repeatedly tap F8 until the boot menu appears. Choose safe mode. Booting in safe mode will only load what is absolutely necessary (your mouse and keyboard, etc.)



From safe mode, run AVG. Make sure you still are not connected to the internet. Once it has run and it's deleted/quarantined the viruses, you can restart your

computer as normal.



EDIT: Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames is a family of Trojans created to steal any stored login or password information. Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames is reported to steal online gaming accounts and financial information. Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames may then send the collected data to a remote server. In order to have your system safe, it is recommended to get rid of Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames with no delay.

Wiping your computer clean is NOT the solution.

Asking /paying someone else to fix the problem is NOT the solution .

TAKE A STAND NOW! IT's YOUR COMPUTER !!

Honestly, if you have that many you should reformat your computer. Trying to clean over 100 of them will take more time then just wiping the drive.



If you choose to try and clean them, write down the name of the trojan and do a web search. There are websites that will walk you through how to remove that particular one.



If AVG is catching them and cant remove it, try just sending it to the vault and lock it away until you can read about it and remove the nasty bug manually.

start in safe mode with net working and use this free online scanner http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ it will take an hour or more but it digs deep into your system and roots them out. also turn off system restore before scan. the trojans are hiding there . good luck. read this for more on this http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-psw_w32_onlinegames.shtml

I would just back up the things on your computer and re-boot or whatever they call that. You know, take everything off and upload your windows again.
