Help with IE7 and Trojan
Two days ago I upgraded from IE6 to IE7. During installation, a popup appeared saying basically my security wasn't high enough, did I want o change to recommended settings. I chose yes.
Since then, my main PC has been dogged with the Vxidl trojan. I am running Vet Anti-virus and Ad-Aware. VET keeps finding it, but doesn't delete all the files. I have been running Ad-Aware as well everytime VET finds something and it keeps finding critical objects to kill as well.
The Vxidl trojan keeps appearing in my Temp, and Temporary Internet files directories. I have just deleted every file in these two directories in an effort to get rid of it as VET was not deleting some instances.
Two questions:
1. Is anyone aware of a security issue with IE7 or any particular security settings I need to check?
2. Can anyone point me to some info or a cleaner so I can make sure I get this trojen off my system? I haven't found anything useful yet myself.
I'm posting this from my lappy with the main PC goes through full checks by both VET and Ad-Aware... 500,000 files takes a while!
