Here’s the story:
Earlier this evening, I was trying to transfer some files, when Windows Explorer randomly crashed. I thought it was a glitch, and opened it up again, only to have it crash again almost immediately. After restarting twice and having the same problem, I had AVG scan my computer and it turns out I got a Trojan Horse virus this afternoon. More specifically, AVG’s calling it Trojan Horse Generic10.BCHQ. I’ve looked around for a trojan removal program, and while many programs will scan for free, I’ll have to shell out twenty or thirty dollars for an automatic removal. So instead, I’ve opted to manually delete the files the spyware detectors have found.
But how am I supposed to delete files if I can’t leave Windows Explorer open? I can view the files with Firefox or Internet Explorer, but is there anyway to delete the files from there? Should I delete the files manually at all or is there another *free* option?
