    try this to clean the temp files where it may be hiding

    www.ccleaner.com

    run and remove all it finds

    (ps, suspect your friend has the problem , not you ;))

    was not a dig at you about downloading stuff, was pointing out to the earlier poster that AVG is not the problem

    i had used norton with no problems and had to have some things fixed on my laptop and the guy who did this took off norton and used AVG and you guested it about 3 weeks ago it all went belly up and i lost a lot of things and had a nasty virus and it took about a week to get it sorted and hubby put the norton back on again .... all very well but i'm a bit of a tech on fob :mad:

    Thomas: (or anyone) I have deleted the infected files but none of them said "backdoor tidserve!inf!
    Is it safe to assume I don't have it?

    It should be unless Malwarebytes isn't picking it up. But i think your friend probably got it from somewhere else. Lots of viruses going around at the moment.

    I'm not sure if he means in addition to malware or instead of?
