I got a Lenovo computer last month. They also installed me an ADSL connection. A friend installed me software for movie downloading. He told me that it is great for downloading movies from the net. Everything worked great until yesterday. Now, whenever I try to connect to Internet ISP is not responding. A friend told me that I might have a Trojan Horse downloader virus. What is that?

From your story, I am almost completely certain that your friend is right and that you have some sort of virus on your computer. It may be a virus from category of Trojan Horse. Those types of viruses are designed to aloud access to hard disk content on your computer to his owners. I think that you have some Torrent software for movie downloading and that is the common problem for all users of Torrents. I had to reinstall my computer few times because of torrent using and viruses. However, at last I found out what is a cure for that. The cure is combination of AVG and Seagate firewall. You should also check with your ISP doesn't they have some server problems. If nothing else helps, Windows reinstallation will.
