My antivirus picked up what to be detected as a trojan horse, didn't say anything about deleting it, so I guess it deleted it, but I had to leave, but put onto scan, and when I got back the PC put itself to sleep ruining the AV process (it does that if left too long) so I am searching for the file I looked at from the log, I have a feeling it won't be found whether or not its still there, its called

zdi2qgq3.wm

any ideas dudes?

If it starts spitting out little greek dudes wearing short skirts and brandishing sharp swords, beware.

japroe might just be infected with a virus?

So I find an old zip file on my computer one day and open it to see what it was. At that point I remembered back in highschool when I used to store a large collection of trojans and virii on my computer for some afterschool activities. Though not active trojans, my AV deleted my files. doh.

So do I, but I don't keep going on about how useless it is."

Because he had nothing useful to say, so he said something that wasn't useful at all....how random....

Well it deleted it, plus I don't use IE so it won't be there

Oh and isn't 'account inactive' because you deleted it, or is it because you thought it would sound better than DBMad
