Hello everyone, lets skip the greetings. For last three days my personal computer has attacked by TROJAN_REGIN.SM malware. Before the attack I was using Avast 2014 anti-virus. The anti-virus couldn't fight the virus. So I had to change the anti-virus, now I have installed McAfee Antivirus with latest definitions. Unfortunately it fails too. Any solution ?
