I have somehow managed to get the Trojan DNS changer codec ,its a real pain.It actually quite a intelligent trojan also,it even stops me updating windows,my anti virus program and a few other applications.
Anybody got anyway I can clear this.
I am running Avast free anti virus on an XP platform.
I ve tried a few program that say they have cleared the trojan but its still there somewhere.
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading; The few who learn by observation;
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves...
Downloaded both programs lastnight,superantispyware didnt work because the trojan kept blocking the update of the program.I downloaded Malwarebytes and Hooray it worked.
Thanks for that,and i have also updated all my other antispyware and virus programs now.Although i had AVG free edition when the trojan came onto my system.????
Now that the Trojan is gone, try to update SuperAntispyware and run it. Just to pick up anything that MBAM may have missed. They work well together?
If, by chance, you are still unable to update SAS then Download the latest free portable version to a thumb drive and run it from there. When it runs from memory the Trojans can?t stop it. Lol
As Hooter suggested you could run Ccleaner, it works well and is very safe to clean your reg with.
2 suggestions to keep the Trojans out ? Avira Antivir, free and Threatfire, free
P.S. I don't like AVG, it's over-rated. Avira is better and has the credentials to prove it....

Thanks for that advice taken ,but it is strange when you go to a large site like download.com and there best download is AVG free download.I have proved its not 100% with a trojan like this.
