avast keeps alerting me to a trojan “win32 Atraps-PF” and moves to the the virus chest, then a minute or two after it says it has successfully remove it, it returns.
You will also need to run and attach the other tools suggested here:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools attach the (other) logs here.
Hopefully a malware removal specialist will be able to look at this soon, essexboy who deals with the lions share of these may be off-line, it is 11:45pm in the UK. So he may not be back until tomorrow, unless another of the qualified malware removal specialists in a time zone nearer you can pick it up.
Can you please open up your own thread with your problem as it makes it difficult for removing malware when more than one OP is in the thread. Thank you.
