sillyThe last two days in a row, Avast has claimed to have found a Trojan Horse malware on my computer - once when I was opening a picture with IRFANview, and the second time while loading skype. IN the first case, it quarantines IRFANview, and in the second, killed the ability of skype to receive instant text messages.
I am unsure whether these programs have been affected or not, but the fact that it has happened two days in a row suggests to be that there is some larger overarching problem in any case.
Does anyone have a suggestion about what I can/should do to get rid of it? Would it be easiest to just shell out the $30 it will take to have the computer help center people on campus look at my lappy?
I ran adaware this am - or started to, but I think I forgot it was running and shut down before it was finished, brilliant me :p
Any advice appreciated - though I'm not at home at the moment and will have to wait until later to do much about it.
