This is a public service/request for help post

I was watching the TSL when I got G-lined by irc saying that I had a trojan I've spent the last 5+ hours off and on trying to remove it from my computer and after several attempts am running one solution at the moment with undetermined results.

The only programs I had open were ChatZilla, Mozilla Firefox (razertsl.teamliquid.net/live/) and MUSHclient (mudclient) I'm relatively certain it didnt come from MUSH and seeing as there werent a torrent of complaints here I'm pretty sure it didn't come from the stream.

I neither clicked any links from the channel or opened any other websites, ng_CO kept pasting his FAQ kk: post and it was the same as Lyset's except broken up into several lines I copy pasted the entire message into one line and when I tried to post it for him I got G-Lined. This isnt an accusation just the only source that I can think of at the moment that it might have come from.

Now for the request for help:

I've run 2 scans with Norton a quickscan and a full scan and as I am posting this I am running a third scan with options checked to scan EVERY file on my computer and so that it won't skip any. I've tried windows Defender because it can sometimes catch trojans that other programs missed that did not work. I used the autoruns program to look at everything that was starting while in safe mode and removed a few malware apps but IRC still claims I have a trojan and G-Lines me again.

Dont think Quakenet is falsely detecting one of my programs as a trojan as I didnt open anything new and was on ChatZilla for over an hour before it dropped me off. Are there any other solutions you can think of?

no help from me, sorry, but i just want to share a related story:

i downloaded this internet radio broadcasting software, and it needed a crack to unlock it. well, turns out that crack installed a trojan (which somehow went unnoticed to many) that only activated when someone used IRC

so its not necessarily something you were doing at the time; it couldve been planted a long time ago and

yeah Norton failed horribly, I'll try avast and useless I've been using IRC for a while dunno how long it's been there though

edit-
avast apparently found it or one, hasnt finished scanning yet but it's already surpassed Norton

edit edit- up to like 8 trojans found even if some of them arent really malware thats much better than Norton not finding any

"Oh no, we've drawn Judge Schneider" "Is that bad?" "Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog" "You did?" "Yeah...if you replace the word *kinda* with *repeatedly*...and the word *dog* with son"

Why keep Norton? Honestly the software package has just been so bloated in the recent years, not to mention horrible efficiency.

it actually works. i have gotten 2 in the past and avast removed them easily. Do a scan before boot and it will catch it and remove it.

It has a good firewall, not many of the other programs have a firewall that matches it *shrug* plus I"m not the one paying for it
