Best Answer

The last update of AVG (Virus Database: 404 - Release date: 17/03/2004) works on Trojan horse downloader.Small.GS.

BEFORE YOU MUST STOP THE PROCESS "TASKMAN.EXE" in Task Manager Windows (you can open this with Ctrl+Alt+Canc buttons).

I have had horrendous problems with downloader.small.4.

AVG free edition identifies the virus and a scan says the infected files are healed, but they're not - the system simply crashes repeatedly. I have binned AVG completely and have had no further problems. I'm sure it's still on the system but I think I'll install McAfee or Norton to do the job with an update.

I tried stopping TASKMAN.EXE but AVG still couldn't remove the infected file so I had a look in Windows task manager "Ctrl+Alt+Del" for this too found it and stopped it as well then run AVG again. This time AVG was able to move the infected files to the vault.
