Virus on Computer

well the scan has just picked up a trojan.win32.Qhost.a in a .DAT file that was linked to AVG :think:

could be the AVG virus vault

you can go into the AVG control panel and empty the vault

I un-installed AVG (so i could install F-Secure)last night browntoa although that was a pain in its self cos the uninstal program box kept getting shut down as well by the virus(es)

do u think i could just find that file and delete it manually?

Browntoa

possibly C:\AVG7QT.DAT

ill have a lookie mate


Looks like im going to have to wait until kaspersky stop srunning cos my mums comuter has only got 256 MB of ram and its on a proper go slow while thats running

well after a 2 hour scan it managed to get rid of trojan.win32.winload but ive jsut rebooted the computer and tried to load HJT and its still the same

Think im just oging to bite the bullet over this guys and call it quits and get a start up disk and just start windows from the begining like it was bought from the shops cos ive wasted my entire weekend doing this

thanks for all your help and efforts in this guys its been most appreciated :beer:
