Garden club and recipe of the day web sites, and of course MM Forums <br><br><br>That was almost 2 months for me. I use to get trojan horses in the old days when I brought PC PageMaker or MS Word document files home from work to modify. As I recall, it was easy to detect them and to get rid of them. But of course I don't remember that now.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Well... I'm pretty sure that Trojan exists on other sites besides porn sites. I posted a link in here one day that was legit... and it redirected everyone to a PC scan for virus site. Lots of people were asking me why I posted that link. It wasn't on purpose... it was a legit link... or so I thought.<br><br>[image][/image]

Another way to remove the Trojan is open Library/Internet Plug-ins <br>Look for Quicktime.xpt and trash that file.<br><br>For those who would love to download the Trojan here is a little map to help you out. <br>[color:red]OR JUST STAY AWAY FROM PORN SITES YOU PERVERTS !</font color=red><br><br><br><br><br>

... you got me! The wife will also be thrilled to hear I spend countless hours of my day on my fav porn sites. Considering where the virus was picked up, , it kinda' gives an entirely new level of meaning to the term "Trojan," huh? Hey, how 'bout that "little blonde babe" on the "PleaseDoMe4U.com" site? <br><br>Seriously, I was almost hoping I'd picked up that Trojan so the cure could normalize my browsing once again. However, I downloaded, scanned and there was no Trojan. I'm relieved, but almost disappointed at the same time. <br><br>And I still cannot resolve the issue I'm having... it's maddening at this point. <br><br>Ah well, congrats to you... and please keep both hands on the keyboard when surfing from now on! DOH!<br><br>Thanks for the recommendation just the same! <br><br>droog <br><br>

... I've tried just about everything at this point... even Nuke's "Trojan" suggestion, but to no avail. I didn't have the Trojan he apparently had. That's not to say I couldn't have something similar I suppose. Although, I don't frequent porn sites, and I have run 4 different anti-virus/spyware applications.<br><br>Ah well, back to the ol' drawing board on this end. <br><br>Kate, thanks for your responsess... it's appreciated greatly. <br><br>droogie<br><br>
