File C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\jao.dll is infected by Win32:Trojano-169 [Trj] - Repair: Error 42060

I think it`s safe to delete the file (but if you can, send the file to Chest and wait for more opinions).

Please, the forum protocol does not use CAPS. Seems you are yealing and this is a helpful and peaceful forum… 8)

Sunny, I suggest you start using the ‘High’ level of sensitivity in all providers.
After some time, when you learn and get used to avast, it will be posible to ‘downsize’ the level of protection to fit your needs 8)

I have also a problem with Trojano.
The infected files in my system (Win98) reside in c:\windows and c:\windows\system and thee are a lot of them. Avast identified 3 variants :
Win32.Trojano-173
Win32.Trojano-180
Win32.Trojano-181

Most are of the 180 type.

Effects noticed. Unusual number of popups in IE (got around by m0oving to Mozila).
At some point added a lot of startup files and the PC could not finish booting. Went around this by booting in safe-mode and removing the startups.
Up to now Avast is unable to repair the files giving the message could not process xxxxxx.
I cannot just dlelete the files because some belong to Windows And I wish to avoid reinstalling Windows.

during scan a virus was intercepted and then the scanner is reported as infected which dissappears whe the scanner is restarted. is this of any concern.

didn’t it rather say something like “scanner status: Infected” ?
This is a bit misleading, but rather means, that a virus/trojan was found.
avast itself was NOT infected…

to both of you:
Please work through the link in my sig “virusRemoval” and

  • supply more detailed info, e.g path/filenames
  • secure your System & IE, or this stuff will always come back
  • use ad-aware, spybot, cwshredder to clean
  • use KAV, Trend & RAV Onlinescanners to identify recurring variants…
