Trojan virus

[josemarquez10]

Hi.
I just got the trojan virus called "trojan virus Revop.C", I have windows 2000 and I would like some expert give me a favor guiding me the way to take it off from my computer. I run my free AVG 6.0 antivirus and it could not take it off. I appreciate your help.

See this link to TrendMicro: revop.c (http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=TROJ_REVOP.F)
It explains what's going on and how to remove it.
It is actually agressive spyware, not a traditional trojan or traditional virus. Do you use freeware applications? They can load this with the application.

Hi josemarquez10

Welcome to the PC Guide Discussion Forum.

PrntRhd has given you a good link to information on this spyware. You might also want to try a google search for 'revop.c'. This give lots of other useful information for you to understand exactly what you have.

If you dont already have it installed you should consider Ad-Aware SE personal edition. This is a free download and is very good at keeping away a lot of spyware. Ensure you download the latest definitions to go with it and that you have build 1.03
You can also take a look at spywareblaster V3.2. This does a similar thing and runs in the background. Again keep the definitions up to date on both of these and this will help you run without too much spyware. I run both of these on my PC.

I am by no means one of the experts here so come back and read their replies later. But you wont be doing any harm by downloading the two programs I have recommended.
You should also have a read through some of the threads in the 'Applicationa & Security' section for more info about keeping yourself protected.

Have fun and dont forget to look back at what the experts advise

Regards

Gav
