My computer was affected by two Trojan Horses last night while clicking on a link that opened up INTERNET EXPLORER[/u]. just a few seconds of opening up IE Avast immediately quarantine the suspected files, but not after those files quickly spread to 294 files within my computer's operating system files. I staying up to 4:30 am going through and removing all infected files. Problem is I'm finding my computer being unstable in some areas. Only two windows system files were infected. Most of the files are for my new optical mouse - which I have to say I am back to my original mouse with bad buttons. Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2008 is totally gone from my computer. It was so badly corrupt that it failed to function at all. Spybot Search & Destroy is also permanently removed from my computer as that too was hit the hardest. Only one file within the Windows operating system could not be moved to Chest, deleted or repaired - which has me worried it may still spread. Something about not being able to "Flag" it. My Java Script has also been comprimised as I cannot go to the Chat Room. That too will probably have to be removed and then re - downloaded back onto my computer. ALL THIS CAUSE OF THAT DAM INTERNET EXPLORER!!!!!!!![/u]

Try Firefox, might be better for you. I have Firefox and Chrome. Never have had any problems with Chrome. The only reason IE came up is cause I was at a site that claims to only work with IE. And clicking on their link opened up IE. Otherwise I'm on Chrome 95% of the time. Do you still want me to send you those MP3s? Or wait till I get the computer cleaned up?

You can go ahead and send the mp3's. I don't believe they can be infected.
