    I'd like to know how to remove safely those trojans or spywares. Here is the result of a recent drive scan from stop-sign.com

    status file Virus or threat:
    infected CoolWebSearch Software Package possible spyware application
    infected ClickTillUWin software Package possible spyware application
    infected Virtuamondo Newtonnows Application possible spyware application
    infected Walnut ventures 2020Search Toolbar Software package possible spyware application
    infected C:\msinfo.exe Trojan.downloader.500
    infected C:\hp\bin\Terminator.exe Trojan.KillApp.30208
    infected C:\programfiles\internet explorer\cqrmxkue.exe Trojan.downloader.500
    infected C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\LocalS.. Trojan.downloader.500
    infected C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\LocalS.. Trojan.MulDrop.959
    infected C:WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Lo.. Trojan.downloader.500
    infected C:WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Lo.. Trojan.MulDrop.959

    Files\Content.IE5\8KZRVZFA\msits[1].exe is infected with: Trojan.downloader.500
    Files\Content.IE5\HJ4MG4LI\main[1].chm is infected with: Trojan.MulDrop.959
    Total threats found: 7

    Has anyone seen those before and is there a free software out there that can help? I don't want to remove them manually because one of the infected file (msinfo.exe) is a MS system file.
    Thank you

    Hello

    It wasnt very long ago when we saw stopsign in log we fixed them,
    But according to the page here they have changed there ways,
    http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#ss_note

    Franky i would let it near my pc, stick with Ad-Aware SE , SpyBot and now the new MSantispyware programs to clean up and help prevent Spyware.

    Clear your temps:
    Delete the contents of all your temp folders, as in. Open C:\ then >
    C:\documents and settings\(all your pc users)\local settings\temp
    Note: Some systems have temporary internet files, Application Data and History in that temp, if so leave them and delete all other folders and files inside that temp..
    Delete the contents of the C:\windows\temp folder
    C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch < delete the contents
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp <delete the contents
    Clear Internet Explorers's cache
    1. In Control Panel, open Internet Options.
    2. Click the General tab, and then under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
    3. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the Delete all offline content check box.
    4. wait for the hourglass to disapear
    5. Click OK.
