![]() About 3 months ago, our company switched our PDC to our home office. When this took place, they have a script that runs that uninstalled AVG and installed Trend Microsystems. |

![]() Download the free trial of "Prevx1" it will get rid of it... I had it a while back and like you I'm not sure where it came from. I downloaded prevX1 and it found it and killed it dead.... I have since bought prevx1 ($20 a year) and its all I use on my wifes computer. Her computer hasn't had a problem in months and thats saying something since I use to have to clean her computer about every 2 weeks. |

![]() It's not a case of it being moved back. That file isn't the originating script. The virus is running, originally, from a different file, and it's regenerating that file each time it's not where it is expected to be. There's some registry locations you can check to try and find the original file. |

![]() The webroot one i found the best for picking up trojans, its free to check and then you can find out how to remove it at least. Its active protection is quite good too, already had it block a few trojan attempts. |

![]() I had a virus of somesort on a laptop a while back, it reproduced itself etc.. when it was closed or on shutdown as opposed to the usual on startup. Not sure if its relevant, but I needed to switch my pc off, not shutdown to stop it spreading itself once I used Ad-Aware on it. This isnt so easy on a laptop as it calls shut down when you hold down the power button a lot of the time, so I did it while running this batch file I made which basically loops the shutdown about command, the @ signs aren't very necessary: |
