Trojan Horse Agent. YMF

Is a computer virus. I have AVG and it picked up this particular bug a couple weeks ago. If your computer is infected it will slow down to a crawl. It's not a problem if you have a half decent antivirus program. I've used AVG for years.

I also use avg. thats what picked it up. I was trying to open a cdrom from australia....would the difference in the 2 countries systems cause it to show up a virus?
also, will a dvd fro Australia play here in Canada?

I wouldn't think so Stretch. The virus was either intentionally, or inadvertently put on the disc. It wouldn't show up as a symptom of something else. I haven't tried to run an Australian disc but I do communicate on the computer with people in Australia without a problem.

Australian DVD's are most likely PAL encoded and it will be region locked. I doubt your DVD player will be able to play it but you could easily play it a PC.

thanks guys, much appreciated. I'm going to get in touch with the company that sent me the cdrom and let them know what happened.

You can also pick up a DVD player that isn't region-specific. Or at least you could. Are they still available, Durka?

I have Firefox and have never experienced a `computer problem` of any kind. It is `free` and upgraded and updated regularly at no cost to me.
