can't get rid of Win32 Trojano

I have only been using Avast 4.6 Pro for about 2 weeks now and find it very good, but for the last 2 days I am constantly getting this pop up (attached) and have tried everything to get rid of it but the popup still comes.

Adaware Pro didn’t find it either.

Can anyone please help out with this

Many thanks in advance

Disable system restore and reboot. That will solve it.

Thanks for that, it seemed to have worked. But, I don’t understand, does this mean that it is a false warning by Avast and turning of System Restore just stops the warning or does it mean that there really is a trojan and by turning of System Restore it is just enabling you to ignore it?

No it means that the trojan was in your system restore folder, by turning it off you will delete it… :slight_smile:

Mostly it is a false positive caused by the way MS stores the files in system restore.
On a rare occasion it really is malware.

By disabling system restore the file(s) are removed.
System restore is crap anyways, better use a image of the drive or a good backup util.

Well I was half right… ;D

No worries, thanks for that. I don’t use system restore myself, I use Acronis Drive Image and just make an image
