Trojan downloader . xs
I will say it here and full veiw of the public: If I ever come into contact with someone that I know has written a virus that has been loosed intto the wild - like the trojan downloader that Sue has on her machine, I will risk jail to kill them so dead, they'll wish they could die again.

We just don't have time to deal with this right now. It's hijacked the clipboard so we can't even save data. And of course we're shaking in our boots that it might come across the network if we try to copy from my machine.

Oh, and Trend Micro's alledged chat support is open til 4pm, their phone service til 6.

Ouch, that is t3h suck. =(

The last time I had to deal with a serious problem like that, it took me about three hours of registry monkeying (my MS certifications coverage includes 98, NT, and XP -- thank goodness!)

Here's to hoping yours gets resolved swiftly, and with little or no loss of data.

... and I think back to Vincent, in Pulp Fiction, after his car was keyed ...

I think this'll take a little more time - it's had several days to propoagate stuff. It'll be at least an afternoon on chat with Trend Micro...

Hey! If Sue's system could wait until Friday night, I could come up and do a really good cleaning on it.

We might take you up on that - it just depends. It's her main machine. All her photoshop color swatches and stuff like that are on it, not to mention TONS of data. We need to back up more regularly.

Remember that you can also call on [info]ihgreenman in an emergency (depending on what your system is). He might also be a good person to chat with about setting up security and backup systems. (I should talk. I maintain my PC with shameful carelessness. But the servers are as heavily guarded as Fort Knox.)

At least long enough to duct tape him to the chair...

One of the many unadvertised uses of duct tape.

I'm with ya brother...I'll help kill them dead then we could argue over who really did it then they will never know who did it! That really sucks the big one. I guess I'll just call Sue with Friday evenings plans. Hope all goes well with repairs. I'll see you soon.
