Question about Trojans/viruses.?

Somehow my husband accidentally got a virus on our computer, this Trojan that hides itself in the form of a virus protection program, called Spylock. It was on there from last night until I woke up this morning.



I got up, found out what it was, and immediately did a system restore to 5 am yesterday morning -- well before it was downloaded. Do any of you know enough about computers to know if that would have removed it completely? I have AVG version 7.5 as an antivirus, and I scanned it this morning and it didn't find anything, but I'd like to make sure. Thanks!

Hello. Here's my standard advice:



First, go to www.microsoft.com and download thier Malicious Tool Remover. Before using it also get Spyware Terminator for your system. Both are free and work well. Since you've got AVG's latest you got that. Then open up the zipped file and run it to check your system. Should it find anything it will tell you. Then open and run Spyware Terminator and set it to check various things, and then it will run a check on your pc every day. I also advice getting CCleaner, a great little app which'll clean out your internet cache and remove your tracks... especially those pesky MRU cookies that track everything you're doing. Also, beware of using Incredimail as it is MALWARE... and the app also has something called ALEXA TOOLBAR. That thing's one bad sucka, for which it can stay on your pc even AFTER getting your whole system started over via the rescue CD's. Then when you want to download something else, first put it into your "MY DOWNLOADS" file and do a right click to check it for viruses. Don't click on pop ups and watch out for those Windows Messenger messeges which can come your way also. Good luck.
Just to be on the safe side.....
