Subject: RE: Tech: Trojan infection
It is hard to tell which of those "free" virus removal programs are legit and which just install more viruses.

Malwarebytes is legit and free.

The last time I got a Trojan, it blocked access to http://malwarebytes.org with DNSchanger but it did not block access to http://www.malwarebytes.org

Once I got it Malwarebytes installed, it cleared up the infection.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.31
Database version: 1571
Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3

The problem is that the infected keys and files are sometimes hidden and you can't find them to rename or delete.
