The original trojan you had will download other worms and trojans and install the appropriate services on you pc and it is also scripted to upload your usernames and passwords etc so my suggestion still stands to go online from an uninfected pc and change them all before it's too late. Did you try hijackthis yet?
no andy my knowledge about pcs is as bad as an accountant doing diy at home so i think its time to get the people in the know to have a look.
Dropbox is a legitimate site, I also use it and I've never heard of it being a problem but the site may have been hacked at some time, I don't know. You should use Sandboxie for your internet browsing and e-mail. It's freeware with a small nag screen if you don't register it and you don't need to be a computer whizz to use it.
took my netbook in for a good rinse...to clean out the spook...they flushed out everything...when i switched the pc back on and tried to access my gmail account...the spooks had got into my gmail account and caused absolute chaos...to a point that i have had to get a pin code from them to try re active the account...they have tried numerous attempts at my bank account...so i took all the money out just in case.
Since I started using Sophos, I can assure you that until now it has beaten any other anti-virus I have used. Bitdefender also seeks out viruses where you least expect them and is very affordable with good support here in SA. Viruses are everywhere. I've picked up viruses from downloading jam recipes!
