    Hi everyone

    Well im having some problems with getting rid of some trojan.
    Today earlier i was as usually on msn and everything and then Malwarebytes' showed me a notification saying there was some trojan file detected on my computer and i put it on quarantine but for some reason it couldnt be moved to quarantine. The file was C:\USERS\JESSICA\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\OPR7…
    I scanned my computer with many different antispywares (malwarebytes, windows defender and superantispyware) and my antivirus avast and none of them found anything, I can't find the file to delete it.

    Does anyone know any good program to remove trojan agents or something i could do manually to get rid of it?

    Please, please help me fix my pc.

    Thanks in advance to all of you

    When you attempted to remove it with Malwarebytes, did you run in safemode?

    It's in the temp files so just run CCleaner; Or manually browse to the location and force delete with a program like unlocker. And a virus and malware scanner like Avira and Malwarebytes.

    hi jessica and welcome to nbr.

    disconnect from the internet first as some trojans will just replace it as soon as you manage to delete the original. as mentioned also worth running virus scan in safe mode.
