Why does the trojan seem to fly around my computer although i have selected heal file with AVG. Yesterday it was at System volume information and today it was at one of the files at C:/windows/help. I have already deleted the file and emptied recycle bin, does this get rid of the trojan?
did you run AVG from safe mode?

err nope.
Try running AVG from safe mode then.Ayumiz wrote:

Ok so if i run it on safemode, How do i completely get rid of that crap?
Well, I don't use AVG, so I don't know the steps for getting rid of stuff, but if you boot into safe mode, windows will only load those things that are absolutely necessary (hopefully, none of which will be infected). The reason it keeps coming back is it is resident memory when you're trying to get rid of it, so it just re-infects another file... So, just boot into safe mode and use AVG as you normally would. If that doesn't work, it's pretty much full-reinstall time.
Does Norton 2006 remove Trojans better than AVG? Cause i have it.
If AVG in safe mode doesn't work. Then, it's worth a try. Again, ideally you need to boot into safe mode. The idea that any given virus scanner works 'better' than any other is rubbish - they're all much of a muchness but each tend to do somethings better than others. So it's worth trying all the things you've got.
Hmm safemode scan found nothing btw.
hmm what does this mean? safemode found nothing, or is it the trojan has hid itself?
Norton blows, it detects viruses but it can't remove them.Ayumiz wrote:

"you know life is what we make it, and a chance is like a picture, it'd be nice if you just take it"
hmm really? Anyone confirm this?
NOD32 = Win.
Did a full scan with trendmicro's online scanner, found nothing also.
try AVG anti-spyware
try NOD32 or Kaspersky
if they dont nuke it nothing will without a reformat

Norton will remove some viruses, some trojans, some worms, etc. AVG will remove some viruses, some trojans, some worms, etc. Nod32 will remove some viruses, some trojans, some worms, etc. McAffee will remove some viruses, some trojans, some worms, etc. etc. etc. etc. No one product removes all threats.Ayumiz wrote:
