Need Instructions for Deleting Troj Agent Variants

Hi Everyone:

Tonight, I went online at trendmicro.com and checked for viruses/trojans even though my latest McAfee did not find any infections. When scanning from trendmicro.com, 5 different trojans appeared, (1) Troj Agent.AE, (1)Troj Agent.BF, and (3) Troj Agent.BN. Unfortunately, the entire pc locked up and had to be restarted following this. At this point, I am needing any suggestions which come to mind for deleting the trojan files.

I look forward to hearing from everyone regarding this post.

Thank you

George

Hi Everyone:

Before I begin, I want to thank each expert for their input. I found each response rich in content and germane to this post which certainly made it difficult when it came time to award points. In any case, I want each person to acknowledge how much I value the quality of responses by my attempt to distribute points to each person.

Now, to the problem which is now resolved. It started out with the detection of Trojans by trendmicro.com with the pc locking up during the scan. Secondly, the problem asl manifested itself by the browswer's home page changing to about:search with the inability to change it within the Properties section of Internet Options. And, finally, there was a noticeable slow down of all internet activity with respect to the loading of pages and downloads.

With respect to the utilities ran, I found a wide array of differences with respect to outcome of scanning. For instance, one utility called Trojan Remover, did not detect anything. However, when I ran Adaware SE Personal Edition, CWShredder, and the a2 program which detected the malware, several problems were found. While I was unsure of every entry found as being corrupted by the utilities, I simply went ahead and deleted all of them. Now, my pc is running much smoother with regards to internet functionality.

Thanks again everyone for your help.
