Help!
I was creating a "playlist" that you commonly see on myspace, etc. Well when I went to click on one of the song links my virus detector went nuts and ever since it keeps going off, saying a Trojan horse is on and adware is to be found. I found some of the files and think I got rid of them but still get more.

Just shut down and re-boot the system. Your anti-virus should take care of it when you power up again.

Where did you get the myspace playlist thing? If it is a song just delete and and run a full system scan with a spyware reomover , adware remover and an antivirus. Idk know but it could be the app that runs the playlist. Myspace and all the sites that make myspace crap are full of spyware and adware. My girlfriend uses it and I have new stuff all the time. Did I mention I hate myspace.

Is that a windows app? If so delete it and go get a free remover, like adaware, and spybot search and destroy. Avg also just released a antispyware that is free. You can also try a program called Highackthis ( I think) I never used it but it is supposed to be the shiz.
I learned everything I need to know about computers downloading porn, so I am a virus expert.

The trojan is in the list that it brought up 95% of the time. The thing about it is that it can't tell what just you have customized and what you don't want there. One thing you can do is copy paste each of those into google and see what comes up. It's a long process but certain files are known and sites will tell you that is it a trojan/virus/spyware.
