Help freddy42.exe infected computer
 

Any help?
I went onto Facebook this morning and ended up with trojan called freddy42.exe. I think that is the name.

Is there a way to get rid of this? I installed the free verson of AVG and ran it but it did not remove it. I have also fold a fold that was labeld "prefect" or something similar and removed it. It had file names that come up when I ran the AVG. They were st_124... files. I deleted all of these too. I am running AVG again. The porblem it causes is it hijacks your browser.

:hang::whackin:

Thanks for any help!......

If you don't have it, download Spybot Search and Destroy, it should remove it. My son had it on his pc and it fixed him right up.

Link to their download site is http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

do it manually
 

hit start- search

enter this *.exe

............. that's asterisk dot exe

now every exe file on your PC is listed

now go down the list and look for the one that's dated
or created on may 15 2009

also you can simply do a search for all files created on march 15th

then delete the all the ones created close to the time
you were there until the browser hijacking is gone.
