I had a hijacking trojan on my pc and it caused a security warning message to appear on my desktop and i have since eliminated the trojan but can't get the warning message to disappear. How do i get rid of this?

I had Security Warning Messages that would not go away no matter how many times I ran anti-trojan and spam.

Once I upgraded all the Microsoft Security Update Patches the messages never re-appeared!

Hi

Can you post the message here exactly as it appears on your computer? It would gives us a better idea of how to answer your question.

Hi,
I think it would be easier for me to troubleshoot the problem if you can tell me what hijacking trojan you had ??? what is the OS you are running ?? and also the exact error message you are getting ?? As far I am concerned I think that you have manually deleted the trojan(may be an exe file) and there are some files/settings which are related to it might left on the computer!!

Uninstall IE and re_install from a CD, or version from a d/l that you have used before and know to be unharmed and separate from your computer. Update it as soon as possible.
If you still get the error copy and paste it here if you can. It really help having the error word for word and events leading up to and during the error. what software have you installed or un-installed?

I am having the exact same problem the error reads:
--------------------------------------------------
A fatal error in IE has occured at 0028:C0011E36 in VXD VMM<01> + 00010E36. Error was caused by Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c

*System can not function in normal mode.
Please check your security settings.

*Scan your PC with any avaliable
antivirus/spyware remover program to fix the
problem

The only problem is that even though the tabs return and all of my backgrounds are listed, I am still unable to change the background.
