Hi
Just joined tonite, have a problem with a random (?) trojan horse that is detected by AVG 7. On odd occassions I get a virus warning "C:\windows\system32\directX\svchost.exe" followed by Trojan Horse Downloader.generic.kpw When I delete the file it will come back again at random. It doesn't appear to occur with a regular program i.e opening xsoft etc but appears at random.

Sorry if this is vague but can't find a better way to explain this symptom. Running adaware, xsoft etc fails to find this even if I choose ignore when asked what I want to do by AVG.


Any ideas anyone


regards

yamman
