Hi everynight approx 9 p.m. the above drops in to see me. It starts off creating a temp file on C; with a file in it. Manage to delete it as soon as it drops but would like to eliminate from dropping in.
Have zone alarm, spybot and anti virus all up to date.
Win 98 SE
thanks

trojan is being dropped into your pc by an adware device called Syncroad.
add/remove programs. Windows SyncroAd.
Remove it.
Delete the temp folder and you should be alright.

Hi
Read and investigated a little further and the program I had was WinComm which I deleted and the magic hour has just come and gone and Phew! relief no trojan. I had been able to delete the temp file as soon as it was being dropped but was a nuisance.
Thanks for your help and I am learning lots!

When I read the txt file in the WinComm folder it did mention something about Syncroad so it would be the same company. Fools you with the Win part of the name.
Thanks again for your help.
Hope you do not hear from me again!!
