Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and have a question...I'll try to be as specific as I can!
I have a few trojans and a few other things wrong with my computer (they all were found doing a scan and there were a total of 29 things). I'm not really sure how to describe them. A few of them are Trojan.something and others are w.32smething and a Bloodhound.exploit (I'm not sure if this even makes sense!). One other thing is that there was a file created on my computer under C: that has a name like 04ac4e41c58792e47....you get the point.
I'm running off of Windows XP that came preloaded on the computer...
My question is, if I buy a Vista disc and put it in the computer and install it, will it remove the files and stuff I mentioned before? I don't mind if I have to upgrade to Vista, I know some people don't like it, I just really need this computer for school! I've tried the anti-virus programs and they aren't doing anything along with windows live one help (?). Any information that anyone could give me would be great and I really appreciate it! I apologize in advance for not knowing much about computers, and as I said before, any help is appreciated! Thank you so much and Happy New Year!
