slithy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi-all. I'm hoping some-one can help me. I've just been hit by a couple of rather nasty Trojans, I've managed to get rid of them with Prevx 2.0 but although I get my wallpaper (Wind, the one with the nice sand-dunes) on initial log in, it goes a lovely shade of white after completion of start-up & Active desktop is more sedentary than the average couch-potato.At the same time I get this error message:-"Cannot find 'file:///C:WINDOWS/privacy_danger.htm. make sure the path or internet address is correct"Any advice please?CheersSlithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 That's quite bizarre. Can you give us a little more info, like what your system's specs are and the history of those trojans and what they may have harmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
