I need to get rid of Win32:Trojan-Gen

Viruses and worms
1

Hi there when im scanning for spyware with ad-aware my avast alerts me to a virus in my C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. One of the directories inside of there contains that virus so i put the virus inside my avast virus vault but the virus still pops up once in a while.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this virus for good if it is a virus.

Also this file wsem217.dll is always found in the avast log when it alerts me to a virus.

So anyone know how to get rid of this?

BTW whenever i scan for spyware using ad-aware it comes back again. And again i have to put it in the virus vault in avast.

Hi,

Remember: GOOGLE is your friend

please work through the link “VirusRemoval” below in my sig and then:

  1. UPDATE Ad-Aware & Avast
  2. disable System Restore & reboot to SafeMode

a) do a full thorugh Scan with avast with archive-Scanning enabled, and move found trojans to CHEST/quarantine and/or
b) do a full scan with Ad-Aware, fixing any problems; avast resident SHIELD needs to be PAUSED for this

  1. reboot again to Safemode and repeat 3a+b)

if after normal boot, the problem remains:

  • follow the intructions in the above PestPatrol-link
  • post a hijackthis-Log for diagnostics here

Also secure your browser & system: details can also be found in the “VirusRemoval”-link
