    welcome, molawob ;).

    Let's start with the usual: what is your Operating System? You obviously have one or more softwares installed detecting those nasties. Please inform us about those. Finally: which worms an trojans have been detected (by name)?

    regards.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your speedy reply and lack of jargon ;) !
    Windows XP Home Ed.
    In desperation I am running a number of anti-virus programs. To date:
    AVG v.6
    TDS3
    Panda Titanium v.7 (subscritption ends in 2 days)
    Adaware v.6
    I also have the option of Norton via my university network!

    Existing problems are:
    worm/agobot 14.BQ
    worm/agobot 14.AE
    worm/agobot 23.BQ
    worm/agobot 23.BU
    trojan backdoor.gobot.M
    and until today I had a recurrent messeage on start-up : system32\bridge.dll which after following some advice I seem to have removed.

    My system is running very slowly.....desperate to not let it grind to a halt!
    Thanks for our help,
    Jo

    Hi Jo,

    Well, that's a start ;). Looking upon the named problems, TDS should have taken care of (fairly) all of them at first sight - did you update the database ("radius") before performing a full system scan? If not: please do so and perform another full system scan once more, and post the results.

    Premature - but nevertheless: in case we grind to a halt on this, follow these instructions. That said: first things first. Awaiting your reply ;)

    regards.

    Jo,

    Please zip the files in question and submit them to submit@diamondcs.com.au for investigation - and ask for a reply, which can be posted in this thread.

    Furthermore, follow the link as mentioned in reply #4 and post your log file over there for examination as well.

    regards.

    paul
