No. I was using the full AVG suite.
The Trojan presented as if it was an anti-virus product and kept popping up saying you're infected and wanting me to follow a link for a solution. I had a similar thing 3 or 4 years back. It actually disabled AVG. I had no choice but to do a full recovery -total wipe and rebuild and bye bye data, files, astro photos, kids and krandkids - the lot.
Now where did I put that backup???
