Is that what Norton called it ? trojan.exe ? did it say what the filename was ? or was that the filename too ?

AV's aren't always that good in cleaning up trojans.. grab a trojan scanner/cleaner from here.

I run these mostly

PestPatrol

or http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestPatrol/About.asp

Swat It

Tauscan

The Cleaner

I did try a² .. it's free (as well as swatit).. but it's probably not as thorough.

turn off system restore (if you don't mind losing your restore points).. and run your av and trojan scans in safe mode.


edit : oh.. about your yahoo webmail.. that is most likely to do with cookies.. is this computer, a shared computer ?

I would get the Cleaner by Moosoft. They have a 30 day trial version also that works great.
