The fix for trojan.w32.looksky that was posted here worked! Thank you so much!
One question. What do I do with the rapport.txt file that was created? I noticed in the forums that people were posting theirs. |

I had to register just to say thank you, thank you, thank you for the instructions on how to remove this vicious little thing. Two full days I spent running various scans until I happened upon this site. With your advice I had the problem sorted in minutes.
Thanks again and keep up the good work. |
