How do you get rid of trojanhorse purityscan b virus?

Answer 1

I had purityscan.M - it may be different, but AVG could not remove it and just sent it to the virus vault. I tried the method that Thom contributed for Swizzor.af and it worked. 1)open your control panel -pick folder options -click the view tab -under the heading "hidden files and folders" check Show hidden... -uncheck the checked box a few items down "hide protected operating system files" 2) run AVG and this it should heal the virus. It worked for me
