I'm new to this Forum, and rather new to Computer Stuff in general. I'm Running WindowsXPSP2, IE7, and have McAfee Firewall, AntiVirus,and I keep on getting these random Messages that tell me a Low Risk Trojan has been deleted and removed but upon doing a full Scan I find 6 items Cleaned and removed but 1 cannot be removed. I have run their Avert Stinger and it does no good! This has been going on for 4 days with no change. It keeps telling me the offending file is located in
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SIZESARE.DLL and idenifies it as Artemis!C4747C16a6AB (Trojan). But upon looking there is no such file to get rid of! :shock: Is there anybody out there who knows about this? I keep getting directed to all sorts of Reg. Cleaner tools but I don't want to take a chance and screw something up! I don't open any suspect Emails, No Porn Sites, I don't play Games or Download Music so I can't figure out where this came from. :D
