You recommended that I update to Service Pack 2. How do I go about doing that?

Hi, I forgot to ask you one last question; How did I get the Trojan infection in the first place?

My Trend Micro was all up and running as usual, what made this time different?

[Essexboy]

That sort of infection usually comes from an infected website with a redirect to a blackhole exploit. No websites are totally immune from this

Some examples of how it is done here

Does that help ?

Hmm, that explains how the attack seemed to appear out of "nowhere". I guess I'll be careful now when I visit Imageshack.

Thank you so much for all you help Essexboy! Most of my friends told me to junk my laptop after 4 years, but it now looks like it'll survive for the next few years if I take good care of it.

I came to GTG 4 years ago, and I still remember you helping me out. Just wanted to say thanks to this forum of volunteers, and special thanks to you! Thank you!!!!
