I got a Dell PC last month. They also installed me an ADSL connection. A friend installed me Torrent software for movie downloading. He told me that it is great for downloading movies from the net. Everything worked great until yesterday. Now, I have a very slow detecting of proxy settings and I cannot make connection at all. A friend told me that I might have a Trojan horse downloader virus. Is that possible?

From your story, I think it is more then possible. It is certain that you have some sort of Trojan virus on your computer. 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. For start, use AVG from the Safe mode of your Windows to clean your computer. After that, install Seagate Personal firewall and I think that will solve your problem.
