    Had Virus On My PC, Need Help

    Hey guys. So I had this cute lil' trojan called like Hayabuka!bit or something. If anyone could tell me what it was actually called, that'd help a lot. I think I removed it with windows defender, but I guess it gets into your privacy and shit. I want to make sure it's gone. Any tips?

    2 things I'd recommend you give a look at:

    malwarebytes - this will help as a first cleaning step
    hitmanpro - you have to pay to use it, but there was a free trial last I checked. It works like a charm

    Here is a link to hitmanpro: http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

    Another link to how to do the process: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/malware-removal-guide-for-windows/
    Good up until the Kaspersky part. No experience with the specific tool they recommend, so I'd stay with hitmanpro

    Going to ask Jon to take a look, he'd know exactly what to do :p

    Thank you. Malwarebytes should help. I was worried because whatever the virus' name was is known for being particularly nasty. I researched it before removing it and part of the removal process called for clearly all internet browser data, so I no longer have the name of it anywhere.
