Swizzor.br by titus on 11-05-2004 at 08:14 PM


I installed Messenger Plus, erroneously, with sponsor. (mysearch) I had to unistall it with your help.
I reinstalled it, without sponsor. But a trojan called swizzor.br began to enter every 12 hours in my PC
I followed the rules you give: install Messenger Plus with sponsor, (and the mysearch bar came again) then unistallit and then install it again without sponsor. But the trojan swizzor.br came again.
According to other users, this trojan is linked with Messenger Plus
How can I now (after having unistalled Messenger Plus and free from that trojan at last) be sure that if I install MSN pluss, that swizzor wont come again and again?
Is there a mechanism to prevent it to enter my PC, after installing Messenger Plus?
The only gadget I like of Messenger Plus is the elimination of the MSN Messenger ad bottom banner.
Is there other software you recommend to prevent that banner, and prevent that Swizzor downloader?
