Hey, so this is my problem: i hooked my PC into my dads motem to re-download a steam game faster. When i hooked it back up in my room, a new tool-bar thing comes up and says: "Blocked Start-up Program" so, i right clicked on it and told it to "Run Blocked Program" and the thing that happens where the screen fades to a layer of grey, and a window says: Allow this Program to you computer?" and it says the directory is "C:/ Program Files/Microsoft.NET/update 1 v 1.4322 " [B]BUT[/B], ive never had this happen before, and ive never seen that icon in the toolbar before. [B]AND[/B] i checked the publisher- One of a known Microsoft Program (Micorsoft Word) and the new one that just showed up. Thing is- The online signatures didnt match. The MS Word/Power Point/NoteBook/ etc, were ALL signed by Microsoft. This program, was not. So i think its a trojan or a third party program that Microsoft Supports, but doesnt sign it. Im pretty sure its a trojan, because i cant perm remove/block it. So, please help. This isnt an emergancy, but i do want to solve it. Thanks!
It is, to use common e-yokel terminlogy, a trap.
