I keep getting an alert that a computer is trying to attach my computer and it is being blocked but it keeps happening. The computer that is attacking my computer is my SON's computer. I ran a thourough scan on both computers and came up empty. Any one know how I can find this trojan horse?

I'm no computer whiz, but there is a Trojan remover program that you can download for a free trial. I had to do that also through AOL. Apparently my AOL password had been stolen while I was at work checking my emails. I had to download the Trojan remover and then change my password. Not sure if this is the same problem, but it might help.

...but do know it can be infuriating just as what I got yesterday. An email from Microsoft security (supposedly) that told me to openthis and use the program to get rid of viruses that were permeating their systems.... Well, I thought that looked strange, so put a virus check on it ans sure enough IT WAS A VIRUS!!! I cannot believe some people and how intentionally devious and cruel they can be. Somtimes I think we are going to hell in a handbasket....

thanks I think I discovered the problem. Somehow my son's computer was no longer a "trusted" site on my computer. It wasn't a trojan horse it just looked like one.
