Problem with Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I run Avast 4.6 0523-4, 050608 virus database. Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 and all latest updates. I have 0.5Mbps ADSL internet connection.

Problem as follows:

If I start the computer Avast find a virus: Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other} in the following file installer.exe located in c:/documents and settings/…

Withing a minute the internet connection is terminated.

HOWEVER:

If I unplug the network cable to my ADSL modem before starting the computer, and then reconnect the cable after windows have started, there is no sign of viruses and I am able to stay connected to internet as long as I want!

Does anyone have an idea how to clean this virus?

Thanks for any help!
