SORRY WRONG FORUM - HAVE RE-POSTED IN CORRECT PLACE - APOLOGIES

Hi - I am running Windows XP - my child downloaded some music "accidentally" a few days ago and we got attacked by Trojans, namely Hijack.Userinit, Hijack.sound, Trojan Banker, Backdoor.Bot, TrojanVundo, etc. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG - AVG said all was fine, MalwareBytes found and cleaned and said it would delete on reboot. Ran again and a few were still there. Ran again and they had gone. Ran Adaware and that found some too. The last couple of days I have run it quite a lot and it says it is clean. IE is running very, very, very slow and a Windows defender popped up this morning to say that Infection was found. I healed it and ran MalwareBytes and it said it was clean. I am not however sure it is!

I read you other helpful page on removal and have run TLC and Root Repeal.

I look forward to hearing from you - thanks very much
