Unless it has really taken over your computer completely, and has wiped out your antivirus program. Then all you can do is take it to a computer repair store like Miracle Computers and have them either remove the virus/worm and repair your system, OR IF POSSIBLE, have them recover the data you want, wipe the hard drive clean, and reinstall the OS completely.

AnswerHi,AVG 7 detected "Trojan horse dialer.22.AQ" on my machine 3 hours ago, but couldn't heal it nor put it in the virus vault. I tried everything: Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, Microsoft anti-spyware, AVG7, scanning in safe mode... nothing worked ! I even went back to an old restore point without succes.
I finaly got rid of it by scaning with HouseCall free anti-virus (http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp)
While it was scaning, AVG resident shield poped-up and i was able to put the Trojan dialer in AVG's virus vault. So i think it's the combination of those two Anti-virus that enabled me to fix this problem.
Once it's in the vault, the dialer can no longer damage your system... you can safely leave it there and let AVG take care of it and delete it when it's old enough. If you wish to delete it from the vault before AVG does, you should at least wait a couple days to see if your system is runing properly.
Hope this help
Pat.
AnswerI had the same Trojan and I saw this post. It helped me alot, because I tryed everything to even going to the registry and delete it from there...nothing... Runing AVG and Housecall at the same time was an awesome idee, with the only littel trick let Housecall finish first...than go to AVG since AVG finds only 1 infection ..and houscall finds 2 the secound is the trigger of the Trojan if you don't delete the trigger ( exe) you will get the Trojan back everytime. Great helping advice to Pat and this site..thx alot for the idee and good job....How do you remove backdoor generic jcj when your avg virus vault tells you it can't be deleted?

What virus has infected the most computers?
Trojan viruses, named after the Trojan horse that was gifted to the ancient city of Troy by the Greeks. The Greek warriors hid themselves in a giant wooden horse that was left outside the gates of Troy. The people of Troy brought the horse inside the gates, thinking it was a gift. Late that night the warriors broke out of the horse, killed the Trojan guards and opened the gate allowing the rest of the Greek army in to take the city. A Trojan virus works the same way. It is written within a usable application. The user installs the program thinking it will do something useful for their computer, but after it is installed the viral part of the program lets loose with whatever the intended damage is.
A Worm is another common virus, in fact it is probably the closest thing to a real virus. It is self-replicating, meaning that, other than its specific goal of damage to the target system, its other main goal is to copy itself and spread to any systems in direct connection with the original. For instance an email virus that, once it installs in its target and does its damage, finds the target's address book and attempts to copy itself out to all the entries in the book.
These two viruses are the most common, but there are many other kinds, and almost infinite versions of each type.

Can a computer catch an human virus?
One is a real microbe (human virus). It is a real virus germ, that causes infections in people like the flu and a cold. Computer viruses are not real germs and are only nicknamed a "virus" because they spread like one from computer to computer.
Computer viruses are just software/programs that can be put on and hidden in your computers by other computers through malicious programs that a criminal geek has created to harm your system and make it harm other systems in return. It has nothing to do with germs or real infections.
