Help needed with Trojan .fxa
Hi everyone, I have recently discovered some files that were saved on my PC while having a clearout prior to changing my ISP.

These files were my photographs mainly, plus a few things saved from mail. When I tried to open them, windows said they couldn't and to save time, I googled '.fxa' as I didn't recognise it.

I was quite surprised to read that it was a Trojan! I immediately sent all the files to the recycle bin. and now I would like some help to get rid of it. Is it sufficient to just empty the bin or do I need to install something to get rid of all traces?

I have McAfee and Avg and have just downloaded Shield 2009.

Thanks
