So I got onto my computer today... and it was giving me some really annoying problems... first off it would not play my music... but to me, from this computer it was nothing new... its is always not working on me ... it have the normal computer noises... so i know the sounds working but not the sound i wanted!

so no big deal... and than just about an hour and a half ago i get this wonderful sensation of watching my computer turn off with out me doing anything... man i was peeved... so i turn it back on to find out i have spy ware... or so my computer says... well i run my anti vi called Avira... i don't know if its good or not... its my dads computer so really its all his fault if thats like the crappiest anti virus u can have... and it turns out that i have not one... not two but 7 Trojans....

yes thats right 7... and so i delete them and put them in back up "Quarantine" whatever that means. i figured if it was a backup it must be good so i did it .... and so once i did that i restarted my computer and because i have heard my grandma(who is very computer savvy) talk about how hard it is to get rid of Trojans i wanted to make sure that they were gone... and i ran Avira again.... ok so its still running... sorry i know im not saposed to have other things opened up but whatever... so far i have found 3 of the damned trojans again...

WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO!!!!!

Lol, whoa there...slow down!

First of all, when your pc crashed did it give you any sort of error messages beforehand or the infamous BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)?

Secondly, Quarantining is alright for the most part, but outright deleting a Trojan (or any virus) isn't always the best answer. Sometimes if you try that then you wind up deleting the host file that it's attached to and that usually tends to be quite bad since they tend to attach themselves to necessary windows functions and such.

So...any idea what files they were attached to? I'm unfamiliar with Avira (doesn't mean it's terrible though, just that I'm unfamiliar with it), so I'm not sure how exactly it goes about cleaning your system, but the specific files that were infected could (usually are) rather important to know.
