Helpful Hints That I Used Combating The Druogna Trojan. #1

I stated that I could not get my computer to boot properly due to many error messages.
It would freeze due to a flood of corrupt tasks (related to the trojan) attempting
to boot. This is how I got it to work for those who may encounter the same problem.
As my system booted, I allowed it to perform Scandisk completely. As soon as Scandisk
completed (the very second that I saw my task bar appear), I was poised and ready
to press cntrl+alt+delete to bring up my task menu. On this menu at various times,
I noticed three things that were related to the Trojan (Druogna). One was ""
one was called "msmgs" and the other was "popuper". I first assumed "Msmgs" was related
to MSN messenger, but I have had a warning from my Anti-Virus program informing
that "Msmgs" had been corrupted by a trojan named Shnlog.exe. Every second in the
boot process I would hit cntrl+alt+delete and everytime I saw either of those three
tasks I would click "end task". This process allowed my desktop to boot completely
to where I was no longer freezing.
Some important notes:
1.Don't press cntrl+alt+delete before task bar appears. This will only restart your
PC before you get anywhere.
2.Don't press it twice before you end any of the tasks stated above. You will only
restart your computer.
3.Press cntrl+alt+delete no less than two seconds after ending a corrupt task, because,
I noticed when the tasks "" and "popuper" begin to appear, they will multiply
in your task menu if not ended immediately and that is what makes your PC freeze.
When you have a task menu full of or popuper, it's too late. You'll have
to restart from square one.
I realize that alot of experts on here may have already known to perform this method,
I simply would like to pass on any helpful information that I acquire in this process
to someone that might be on my learning level. I appreciate everyone's time and very
kind and very helpful advice. It has helped me and I would be honored to do the same
for others with what knowledge that I gather.
