Possible Trojan - please help
Dear All,
i have a quick query regarding a possible trojan on my computer.
I bought a new computer late last year. I am very aware of virus problems, so i bought the McAffee Suite on the recommendation of a computer tech friend. I always keep it updated, as well as the windows security stuff. I also scan disc and defrag regularly. I run a virus scan once a week. I have also downloaded the free version of Adaware and Crap Cleaner which i also run regulary.
Earlier this year I was googling the lyrics of a song and McAffee popped up saying a trojan (or some virus) had attempted to get onto my computer. I expected (since mcaffee knew that it was a problem) would have blocked it, but when i pressed next, it said it could not remove (or stop) it. I went back and forward for a bit, not wanting to press ok, but in the end, i had no option. I immediately turned off the internet then turned it back on (not really knowing what else to do) and downloaded a couple of programs to try and get rid of it.
No scan showed anything - Not even McAffee. I downloaded a freeware program called Spyware Doctor, which indicated i had a program called Trojan.Lazar. Since no other program has picked it up, I was wondering if Spyware Doctor is dodgy and just trying to scam people, because of course, you have to pay to remove the trojan. I have no problem paying the money if i know it's all ok and it will work.
My computer seems to be ok, but a bit slow, and some times really slow (for a new computer). I'm concerned this thing is running in the background.
Anyway, if anyone has any recommendations it would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
fehgalloway

Could you please download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Do a system scan and save a logfile".
When the Notepad window opens, do Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Thanks for your help - it's greatly appreciated!
