Hello again,

I have tons of virus and spyware detection progams running on my computer, however somewhow my daughter opened a trojan horse, and other programs that I cannot get rid of.

The specific name of the vrius and locaation are as follows: Trojan Horse Downloader. Apropo.O

Location: C/System Volume Information\restore{9C4232D3-2AED-420D-8DC5-9EBE4CDA7B513.\A0002656.EXE

I keep getting alerts to run AVG, but when i run it, nothing is found. I tried doing a search and came up with nothing. I also may have a lop infection as well. Everything was fine until my daughter was here. She admitted to opening attachments from friends that resulted in my computer becoming infected. Her father recently passed away in a car accident and she thought the attachments were things to cheer her up.

I have had Torjan horse infections before that AVG was unabole to take care of. With the assistance of folks here I was able to eliminate them myself.

The specific programs I am running are: AVG, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Doctor. Spybot Search & Destroy. Also ran Ad-Aware before posting this. It took 2 hours, but found about 120 things I cleaned up. Also am up to date on all critical updates and virus/spyware definitions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
