Default ASF.GETCODEC.AA trojan

Thank you Bcool and all of you other great people for replying. I am printing out the instructions as I type this so that when I shut down all programs etc..I can still read the instructions in safe mode. Hopefully this will get rid of the problem.

I did uninstall my limewirepro because it seems to get a lot of viruses; most of them get caught by my antivirus software. This is the first one that it couldnt do anything with. I would rather pay for music than keep having problems with my computer.

Thanks guys/girls really appreciate your help

Being aware of virus sizes & typical naming helps greatly in avoiding them in the first place: Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see).
