Bobbye, Thanks for the reply.
1. It happens that Trojan.Agent/Gen-krpytik IS spelled deliberately incorrectly by the designer. I posted it exactly as it was found in the anti virus program. My brain wanted to spell it correctly but the person who launched this animal had other ideas. It is always possible there are variants that are spelled correctly.
2. Yes. Information is all over the net on those two trojans - and that is my usual MO. However, clicking-through to information on trojans is becoming a risky business these days. In two cases when I checked these Trojans through Google, the supposed "anti-virus" site was actually a "malware" site with real pro looking gui interfaces. Getting malware off a machine is a totally different game than one year ago - and so clicking around the net to unknown anti-virus sites is becoming a way to compound the problem. So - I asked here for the accredited anti-sypware links which are somewhere on this site which I could only find once. There is a list somewhere in here of about ten "genuine" anti-malware companies. That was what I was trying to locate one more time. SuperAntiSpyware was one of those and it was so good, I paid for the service. MalWareBytes is also very good - and was my first venture with this forum.
3. the COMODO firewall was a great suggestion. Thank you. I run the Windows firewall, but this is way better.
4. I have always used Spybot to ferret things out, but suggestions on this board for further programs really dug under the manure pile.
5. So, Bobbye, If you are still willing to help me further, I will work on the 3 logs later today. At least I can use my browsers today to get things done. And that is possible because of what I already did on this site with you "list."
best regards, have a good one....
