How can I remove Win32 trojan.gen?

I use Windows XP 2002 and the last scan I did with avast showed I had a win32 trojan.gen virus. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it. Also is this why Word is playing up? Changes that I make to my documents seem to dissappear when I try to save them. Please help!

evot, I posted an answer for you in another thread… Seems that you started two for the same problem.
Please, open just one thread for receiving help. I think the other is on ‘Virus’ board :wink:
