Hi,

# Step 1 #

Please, can you tell me which files/folders AVG is detecting as a Trojan Horse? You can find this information on the own quarantine of the Antivirus.

# Step 2 #

Download OTL to your Desktop

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
• Select All Users
• In Extra Registry, select Use SafeList
• Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
  netsvcs
  msconfig
  drives
  %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.*
  %systemdrive%\drivers\*.exe
  %systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.* /90
  %PROGRAMFILES%\*.*
  /md5start
  explorer.exe
  winlogon.exe
  Userinit.exe
  svchost.exe
  /md5stop
  C:\Windows\assembly\tmp\U /s
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLIENTS\Startmenuinternet|command /rs
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLIENTS\Startmenuinternet|command /64 /rs
  CREATERESTOREPOINT
• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
• When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
• Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time and post them in your topic
