Virus - Help!

[jellebabe]

Ive just run my virus check and it piced up a Trojan Horse in the C drive, AVG is unable to heal or vault it, I tried system restore and that didnt get rid either.

What is it?
How can i get rid of it?
Please help, Im not very good with IT so in dummy terms if you have any ideas, thank you!

Try a full scan again in safe mode - to get into safe mode, start tapping the F8 after you turn the PC on but before the windows XP logo appears, and pick 'safe mode' from the menu that appears. Do a full scan, if it cleans it reboot and scan again to make sure its gone.

Safe mode scan gets my vote.
However, if the Virus has got itself in to the System Restore area of the compy then it's a swine to get rid of as Windows doesn't let anyone else muck around in there.

Try disabling system restore and scanning. This will, however, probably obliterate all of your save points.

I did a safe mode scan and it didnt pick up the virus, but when i put it back to normal and scanned it was still there.
Need to get my broadband sorted asap, chuffin tiscali are rubbish!

just got rid of one myself none too sure what it was called bu AVG called it trojan horse lop aq - sodding nightmare taken several late nights to fix - got onto taskbar trying to flog antispy stuff, got past Spyware doctor, NAV& AVG couldn't heal for more than 5 mins,Xoftspy and Regcure all failed however smitfraudfix and AVG antispy both run from safe seem to have nailed it! - apparently called Spyfalcon............b*stards! - that'll teach me for using seriall.com! So my sympathies.......

Hi, Im back, finally had BB sorted out.

Ive tried the "stinger" as recommended, it picked up the virus but when you say heal it still comes back up and the same with move to vault.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for replies so far
