This is my first time using this forum. My computer is currently infected with an Alureon trojan virus. My anti-virus (Avast) finds the virus and takes me through the steps to remove it but every time it reboots at the end of the removal process and I go to use the internet, I get a message letting me know that I am still infected with the same virus. Is there any way I can get rid of it with my current anti-virus software (Avast) as I would like to avoid downloading multiple types of different software to avoid further infections. Please help me get rid of this virus, all help is appreciated at this point as I'm seriously thinking about bringing it to someone to get it fixed as I've been unsuccessful so far. Thanks in advance
