This is very very serious-it was actually my mistake.I recently upgraded my computer and had to install windows xp fresh on it.I had installed all the applications (including antivirus) but I forgot to install a firewall.The first few days I surfed the net without any virus invading my pc.But after a couple of days later,my internet connection disconnected abruptly and would not connect again(I have a dial up).I entered the network connections folder and I saw there was a new connection created(which of course I hadn't!)named "New Dialup Connection" which tried to dial a certain number.I made Norton Antivirus do a scan of my whole system and it found a dialer(named "Dialer.Kotu").It removed the dialer but a few days later suddenly a norton antivirus dialog box appeared saying it found a virus called "Trojan Horse" and they found it in "C:\Documents and Settings\GeekyBoy\Local Settings\Temp" and the filename was "win283.tmp.exe".When I clicked on ok,it said it could not repair the file and quarantined it.After that whenever I search the net it shows the same virus in the same folder,but the filename is differently genereted.Also Norton Antivirus sometimes shows that I am infected by "Dialer.Trojan" virus.The viruses "Dialer.Kotu" and "Trojan Horse" reappear even when norton says it has removed the virus.How can I remove these viruses?This is very critical--please help.
