Hi there.

Sorry for the delay in response because I did not want to log onto the Net with this problem in my computer.

My computer has been invaded by a Trojan called……

IRC/BackDoor.SdBot.MYX

Located in…..

C:\oo.exe.

I suspect it came in a file I downloaded thru LimeWire (the free version of Zone Alarm did not detect it though) because at some stage Limewire kept starting by itself all the time.

I really want to use LimeWire again but after uninstalling it I keep getting a popup message. See below for test. The message seems to relate to the first version of LW I downloaded, but had since upgraded to version 4.12, which is the version I’ve now uninstalled.

I don't want to re-install it (as the popup window suggests) until I get rid of the Trojan. I used the “CleanUp40” tool in safe mode and that gets rid of it at first, but it keeps reappearing a short later (usually when rebooting/starting computer the next time).

As a reaction to all this I bought Zone Alarm Security Suite 6, but it won't let me install it due to a “problem”. I suspect it's related to this **** Trojan.

Further help will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

BTW, the email addy the popup window suggests to report the bug doesn't not seem to work. My report keeps getting bounced back.

Cheers.
