hello avast team ,
i am really glad to hear the reply from u.i am using avast 4.7 for my windows xp. today
morning avast a detected
trojan horse: JS:AGENT-AK[trJ]
location : c:\documents and settings\manjeet\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5\0order4t6v.
and recommended to move to virus chest. are i am safe now . do the infected file in virus chest
would be removed automatically or i should remove manually .i searched trojan horse in registry and i found it but
i am not able to delete it . do avast remove it or i should remove it manually.
V.R.D.B repairs infected files . so should i generate V.R.D.B by option
(generate V.R.D.B now ) to repair it .
sorry i am not actually familiar with computer applications properly.
hi tech ,

i have scan the all local disks and avast has not detected any infections . but when i searched trojan horse manually i found (keyword_default_0) in folder
c:\program files\yahoo\messenger\cache\search keywords.
and in registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER ,ACMru 5604 .

actually i dont understand any of these . i am able to delete after manual search but not able to
delete from registry . it comes every day . pls explain me . i am not familiar with computer applications
how should i get rid of it permanently .
Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
Clean your temporary files.
Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
Use AVG Antispyware; SUPERantispyware and/or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.

hello tech
hi , i am trying to remove trojan horse from registry but not able to succeed.
i have a new problem ,i have installed avg anti_spyware and avg rootkit .and my avast
is not working . after memory test avast simple interface window is getting minimised automatically
and i am not able to open and scan . using avg anti -spyware and avast creates any problems .
Firstly a trojan doesn’t reside in the registry, there may be a run command in the registry to start a trojan, that is why I asked about the details of this trojan detection you say is found in the registry.
We can only help when we know what is going on that is why we ask questions.
So what detects this trojan in the registry ?
What are the full details of the detection ?
