Hi all,
upon start-up I am always getting a "generic host process" error from Win 32 (using windows XP). I did a virus scan with Mcafee, which is completely up to date, and found I am infected with the TDSS.c!mem Trojan virus. Ever since I am getting this error, i'm having connectivity issues (cannot share the net with my xbox anymore), and the application-bar at the bottom of the screen next to the start menu is no longer the pretty blue it once was! Anyways, I tried cleaning the virus with Mcafee but it doesn't work.. And also have the trial of "Perfect Optimizer" but I don't know if I wanna spend the 40 bucks risking the fact that it may not be able to fix it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
