Hi guys I have some questions for ya all:
1. If a trojan is in quarrintine can it still do its job?
2. How do I get rid of it, do I just delete it while its in quarrintine?
Thanks guys your always a big help!

Answers:

1.depends what sort of trojan it is.,but just because something is in qurantine doesnt mean it cannot do its job..
also depends on what sort of Security program it is to actually see how reliable the qurantine is.
2.personally i would delete it.
(but I have reg mechanic to fix any registry keys that may get ousted during the deletion process)
.but still if you would like some more help with this..no one can really tell you what to do until you tell us what trojan you have ..

one step at a time

what trojan is it?
what security programs do you have?

well I have bitdefender standard and there are two trojans
1. trojan.downloader.1st
filename-SAccU.exe
2. trojan.downloader.1st/
filename-uninstall.exe

anyone?

reboot
repeat above steps
at least 5 or 6 times

yer but scanning it won't do anything it just tells you its there

guys... read... he already scanned and quarantined it...

I scanned my computer for the trojan put it in quarrintine then I deleted it. Then I restarted my computer. I scanned my com again only to find it was still there can anyone help?
P.S I have bitdefender standard!

Try deleted the file that's infected manually... Or if you have another antivirus program try scanning with that....



And you couldn't just bump your old thread

What is the trojan? Thing is, nowdays a virus/ torjan maybe something completly harmless. Anti-viruses pick up on anything because the public is paranoided of viruses. It could be adware. Was the new trojan in your system restore?

theres 2! They are both called trojan.downloader
one is called unistall.exe and the other one is called I dont know but the uninstall.exe is in the temp folder in Local Settings and I can't find it! 
Also I know one of them is a trojan because I have got banned from all my forums for no reason, so of which I havn't been on for months!

It looks like adware. Using your scanner damaged it. It is not a trojan nor a threat. That's the thing, never remove anything unless you know what it is. The adware had an uninstaller but your scanner has now damaged it. But do not worry, the thing is no threat

Yer but I have been banned from loads of forums because of spamming posts on them. (Not me the trojan).
