HELP
Have been infected with a Trojan - Spyware Doctor calls it 'RUIN'
It got past McAfee and symptoms are that on start up the Home page appears blank and then a pseudo search engine appears listing top ten searches - primarily ADULT in nature
On selecting a 'Favourite' it either comes up as Server not available or goes to a Top Shelf type page
Ran McAfee and nothing detected, downloaded Spyware Doctor and Trojan Ruin found - purchased and ran the fix seemed OK all gone but within an hour its back with a vengeance and neither McAfee or Spyware can detect anything
Only way I can get a clean NET connection is cia a link from an embedded URL in an e-mail
Any suggestions:confused: :ugh: :O

PS Think I've sussed the original source - a corrupted HOTMAIL e-mail from a Chinese guy in Pakistan - the guy himself is reliable but I know his company had a load of trouble in the past
