Please help me, I've got a Trojan.Downloader!

[debiwelsh1]

I ran a virus scan on my computer and found out I have been infected with Trojan.Downloader.1466. I can't find any information on it. If anyone could tell me about it I would be very grateful. I would also like to know if there is any way to get rid of it for very cheap(free). Maybe you could tell me if I can do it myself. Thank you in advance.

debiwelsh1....Which anti virus software identified that trojan ?  Usually  ( but not always ) you will be provided with a manual method of removing the pest .....
There is something else we could try .........D/L  
Hijackthis........ from ..........  http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

Then post the logfile here and perhaps we can clean up your pc . ( trojans usually show up in hijackthis scans )

Hi,
I can't get into the majorgeeks site. All I get is a green screen even though the address is in the toolbar. Is there maybe a different site I could get something equitable to hijackthis?
I believe it was stopsign virus scan that was run.
Thanx

You can run a free virus scan through the following website- http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp

Follow the instructions carefully. If they detect any viruses, etc. they will give you instructions on how to remove it and/or access to a free removal tool. After you have removed the trogan, obtain or update your anti virus program. You can get a free trial from this site for 30 days. If you go to followind site, www.kimkomando.com, look for free anti virus sites, which she lists and obtain one from there. Hope this helps.
