All Trojan horses are hidden files, in order to get at them you will need to go to Start /Control Panel /Folder Options (click the View tab)and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. Then you will need to restart your computer and go into SafeMode by HOLDING the F8 key DOWN -(at bootup - after the first screen info - be quick!) and choose SafeMode. [You have to use your keyboard when you're in SafeMode - the keys to use are Ctrl/Alt/Delete (to exit the Help and Support screen) - Tab/Arrow keys/ Pageup/Pagedown/ the Window key(between Ctrl & Alt) & Enter] So, from the DeskTop screen press the Window key to get Start/ arrow up to Search/ arrow right to For Files or Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (not for example horse.winshow.V) but the actual name of the file, which would have shown up on your anti-virus software. To delete this file from here just press Page Up to highlight the file and then delete. To get out of Search -Alt F/ arrow down to Close and press Enter. Press the Window key to shutdown and restart your computer.
It will be safe to empty your Recycle Bin in the Normal mode where you can use your mouse.
I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. After unchecking the hidden files boxes I deleted the Temp file from the _Restore folder (as these keep putting the same files back into your system), then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!
hope this helps...Phyl
PS. I also have AVG 6.0 (the free one) & also the Ad-aware 6 and I use them every day as my kids love to play games from the Internet.
I did all the above except when I tried to delete it, it said file cannot be deleted, access denied, source may bein use.

My AVG has detected a Trojan horse exploit and says that the result is infected. i have scanned numerous times but it hasn't detected it again is my laptop infected?
It's probably still infected, unless your AVG Antivirus thought it found a virus.To be safe, install Malwarebytes' Anti Malware and run a scan. This program has never failed to remove a virus for me.
How do you remove Trojans that are in the folder system32 and also in your registry?
You just need to scan the system with any updated antivirus like Norton 2005, McAffee or AVG. These programs traps the trojans and removes them. Make sure you use an updated version of any of the above softwares.

Do you need to do anything more to get rid of Trojan horse Downloader Small GU after AVG has discovered and isolated it?
If it quarantined it, you should be fine though you probably should run McAfee Stinger which you can find on McAfee site. Stinger will look for trojans. I have found it works well at isolating hidden trojans. :)

There is a missing dialogue. Try downloading the AVG installation file and running repair installation.

How do you download avg7?
Go to download.com. And search for AVG 7. This website is a great one because know a days you have to be very careful what you download. download.com is a trusted site that does not contain tainted software with adware, spyware, grayware, viruses, trojans and worms. However AVG 8 which is free is also available so I would search it instead.
How do you remove Trojan horse downloader swizzor af?
To remove this Trojan you need to download an anti-virus software called AVG by "Grisoft" (Search on www.Google.co.UK to find the website) It is FREE to download. Free updates and removes all trojans/virus's. I thoroughly recomend this. When you download it, update it (FREE) and run the complete test this will remove it and free your computer of this Trojan. If the virus is in the system volume information AVG will not pick it up. Follow the steps in this page and run AVG again. AVG should have picked up your virus this time. (You have the option in AVG to run a custom scan where you can set it to scan the system volume information only).
