Hello,

Please post more details about your problem such as:

1. How come you know that there's a trojan horse on your PC. Is it some anti virus (or similar) which informs you that you have a trojan? Please post back the details about Anti virus you are using and the information provided by AntiVirus about the trojan.

2. Is you anti virus updated?

3. Can you post a screenshot of processes running in Task manager?

4. Remove any malicious looking entry for autoruns in msconfig. (goto run-->msconfig--->startup)


Hope this helps......

Had you tried scanning using some other Anti Virus software other than AVG. I had used AVG in the past and noticed that (somehow) computer gets infected even after AVG is installed and many times AVG justs notifies user about viruses and cannot delete them (well, that may be my personal opinion). Well, if you would really like to solve this problem, then I would prefer you to download and install Avast anti virus (it's FREE) from here. When you would be installing, Avast would prompt you for an boot time scan. Select to run Avast boot time scanner and then when you will restart your PC then Avast will run a boot time scan to see and remove any viruses on your system.

If that doesnot helps then you will need to manually search for the malicious file(s) and restore file type associations for all extensions. But first perform a Avast anti virus scan (remember to first uninstall AVG and then install Avast) and post back if that helps. If not then we will TRY to manually remove malicious file(s).

So try scanning using Avast and post back the results.

Hope this helps.........
