Definitely all these different virus are pretty scarey! I also wonder if once they get IN if we really ever get them back out of our machines. :urm:

Not yet Grandad, the trojan that was installed looks like it was from the 'keygen' file which as you may or may not know generates crack codes for programes, so someone snook in a trojan. It is probably harmless, but run 'Malawarebytes' and see what that comes up with. If it shows up again go to this link and follow the instructions for removing a generic trojan which requires that you turn off system restore, hopefully the program itself will still be ok once the trojan is removed and it should not come back again unless you were to re-install it again using the 'keygen' code.
