Hello everybody!
I have a situation with wich I could use some help please! My AGV found that the settup file of a programe I DLed is infected with a Trojan Horse named "Vundo.K".I haven't run the file so I shouldn't be infected. (The trojan is not active because I havent yet run the file. Am I right?). But I really want to run it. AGV says it can not fix the file. So if I do run the settup and install that programm can I then get rid of the trojan and still be able to use the application?
Thanks for any sugestions

Hey Fuzzy007

I advise against it. You probably shouldn't install malware-infected files and then clean the malware later. Especially vundo, which is one of the toughest out there. Delete the program.

Best Regards :D
