Our home computer was hit with the Security Toolbar 7.1 trojan last night. I found the TechSpot forums in my search to find the fix. I followed all steps provided in topic58138.html, and believe the trojan has been removed (or at least stopped). The Security Toolbar 7.1 is no longer on the toolbars of our internet explorer, and the warning icon (that flashes near the clock) is no longer there.
I am attaching 3 log files as requested in step 15 of the forum. Additional information you may need follows:
1. Microsoft Vista
2. TrendMicro PC-Cillin
3. In step 3: I don't think Housecall ran properly
4. AVG Antirootkit found nothing
Please let me know if I need to do anything else to eliminate this trojan. In addition, the instructions had me download multiple programs. What do I need to keep, and what can I uninstall?
Thank you.
