SPYWARE STOP TROJAN

system · August 8, 2009, 5:59pm

Hi fellas!

I’m writing you on behalf of friend who got infected with serveral viruses and trojans. With the aid of Avast, Malwarebytes, Sybot and Superanitspyware she was able to get rid of all but one…the Spywarestop trojan which had tricked her into opening it by saying her version of Windows was bogus. What I need to know is what we can use to get rid of this accursed beast!! I guess when she clicked yes, it rooted itself, and so far has been able to resist our attempts to get it out. Is there a separate tool at Avast we can download…or perhaps a root remover somewhere else. You guys have always come through in the past, so you’re our last resort, otherwise she’ll just have to re-format. Get back to me as soon as you can!! Thanks!!
