Windows 7 > CA Anti-Spy > Trojan.Win32.StartPage.fw > MfPlay.dll remove to solve?
Hello
I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista a couple of days. I have just run CA Anti-Spy (Yahoo toolbar) and he found the following threat: Trojan.Win32.StartPage.fw it has been impossible to remove this threat. I also ran Adaware, Norton IS 2009 and Spyware Doctor (that I bought just to eliminate this threat) and all gave my PC a clean bill of health. I did a bit of research and it seems that this question relates to the mfplay.dll file in Windows 7. Therefore, can I deny the Trojan horse has highlighted by CA Anti-Spy as no risk or should I delete the file mfplay.dll as some people have recommended? I understand that it is used by Microsoft to track users? Any advice on how I can fix this would be appreciated, thanks.
NIS 2010 got a decent review, but I do not put Norton products on my clients machines. If you have been happy with it and want to keep, then OK. For my clients, I offer (commercial) NOD32, Avast or Avira (free versions) and use Windows Firewall. I would definitely uninstall Ad-aware and Spyware Doctor. You already have Windows Defender for protection anti-spyware in real-time. I love Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware ("MBAM", free version) and place it on my clients machines. It should be updated and run manually on a regular basis.
If you keep the NIS, then I would eliminate the rest and use such MBAM as described above. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

HP Envy 15 Notebook PC TS: How to remove Trojan: Win32/Kovter.C reg for good
Hello
For more than a week I get alerts with Windows Defender that my laptop is infected with the Trojan: Win32/Kovter.C reg. Whenever I choose to remove it, but he continues to show the Trojan horse after each successive scan.
My Internet Explorer seems to be damaged and non-functional (Chrome works great) and whenever I try to listen to music, the speaker transforms itself mute after a few seconds.
How can I remove this Trojan horse apparently very dangerous for good? Is there a software to remove known spyware free that I can use. Or do I just restore my pc to an earlier date before the problem started?
Thanks in advance
ANI
Right here, you were able to remove them.
Personally, I don't like Norton.
I paid for the Premium version of Malwarebytes '$30' for 3 computers.
The Premium version in time real protection and works very well.

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
