However, unlike the win32.fung trojan, I cannot find useful and/or accurate information on deleting the win32.netsky.q trojan.

    December 12th, 2008 at 9:17 pm The trojans shown by personal defender 2009 are not real. However, you might have some in your system, planted together with personal defender fake alerts. I recommend scanning with spyware doctor or malwarebytes anti-malware. If nothing found, wait for 1 week, update definitions and scan again.
