    Hello,

    I must ask - how do you know you got a trojan horse?
    And if you do, keep the machine offline until you can clean it.

    Furthermore, I'll try to offer some help if possible, but you must give me precise details about the problem.

    Mrk

    Thank you for your reply,

    I got confirmed that Trojan Horse is found from by scaning system with some anti virus software.
    And whenever I open mozilla firefox I usually get confirmation box that Application "Firefox" is trying to establish TCP connection with some remote IP address and here we can choose two optinx like allow and deny.
    So what con i do to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    with regards.
    Rajasekhar.

    Hello,

    Firefox needs to establish a connection with a remote IP if you want to browse the Internet. And it will ask every time unless you create a permanent rule.

    What scans did you do?

    Before you declare trojan, you should:

    Make scans with at least 2-3 different anti-virus, anti-trojan, anti-spyware products.
    Check for strange files, folders, processes.
    Check for strange behavior - errors, BSOD, CPU etc.
    Try to analyze how you got infected.

    Here are a few tools you should scan you PC with:

    Kaspersky Free Online Virus Scanner
    http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

    Panda ActiveScan
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm

    Trend Micro Free online virus Scan
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

    BitDefender Online Scanner
    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

    You can also download, in addition to your resident AV:

    ClamAV
    http://www.clamav.net/

    Download and use:

    asquared 2.0

    AVG AS 7.5 - you got it already, you say.

    SuperAntiSpyware

    Spybot Search & Destroy

    Ad-Aware SE

    Also download ATF Cleaner and empty temporary files of your system:

    After that, check for symptoms.

    BTW, what is your resident AV? Do you use a firewall?
