Hi
I have picked up a trojan and cant seem to get rid of it. Avast on-access scanner picked it up. I downloaded the virus removal tool, turned off system restore, and turned off scanner. Ran the removal tool and it said that there was nothing there. I have done a complete scan and that says that there is nothing there. But the on-access scanner keeps on picking it up. HELP. the trojan is called
win 32:Trojen-gen (UPX)
Thanks
What is the exact path (filename) where the trojan is detected?
What is your OS?
Here is file names
:\DOCUME~1\Cliftonz\LOCALS~1\Temp\gaBrWJ.exe
:\DOCUME~1\Cliftonz\LOCALS~1\Temp\ybaK8U.exe
I am using win xp with sp1
thanks
Clear your Temporary documents folder and schedule a boot-time scan from within avast menu.
Hi David R
I have just cleared my temporary internet files and ran a boot time scan. I had turned off system restore. Started up the comp. again and within the first few minutes on-access scanner found the virus again . Within ten minutes I have already put 10 warnings in the virus chest.

Where same place, temp, give the full path? What were you doing at the time?
It sounds like there is some form of exploit that is allowing or generating them. There could well be more going on than that.
