Question
hi..i have vista, and spybot caught but did not delete the win32.autorun.tmp trojan. my other anti spy and anti virus did not even catch it. is there any free software around to run and get rid of it? thanks!!

Answer
There are two good ones I know of. Use them in the order I put them. If the first one fixes the problem, you don't have to run the second one.
1. Malwarebytes- www.malwarebytes.org The free version has manual updates and scans. The paid version has automatic updates and scans. I use the free version. Download, install, update, and run a scan. If it finds problems it will show them and you will click a button to fix them. Your computer may have to restart to remove all traces.
2. Combofix- www.combofix.org Combofix is free. It is a more intensive scan that will fix even the worst trojans, but there is a chance for data loss. It is only an executable, meaning you don't install it. You just download it to your desktop and run it.

Try malwarebytes first.

Let me know how it goes.
