Since the virus I have formatted my hard drive several times, starting from absolute scratch, but the problem persisted. I am at a complete loss as to what else to do and would rather like to get this reasonably expensive laptop performing normally again.
Thanks in advance |
like larry said, the trojan could be sitting on your network somewhere. when you formatted and installed the os over, pay attention to exactly what it is your installing for apps. (especially if you downloaded it from a p2p network) it is very easy to bind files togeather. for example- binding a trojan to the norton antivirus 2k4 install package.
