trojan help!

[Thermo]

I stupidly opened up an e-mail i shouldnt have. I now keep getting a trojan horse warning on avg. everytime i get rid of it by using avg it comes back.

the warning comes up as follows

file

C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\agp440.sys Trojan horse Generic 14.ADMQ

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\agp440.sys Trojan horse generic 14.ADMQ

C:\Windows\system32\wisdstr.exe Trojan horse Generic 14.AJKE

It seems to reset my homepage on IE. It was originally a trojan that tried to get me to sign up to pc antivirus 2010, and ive reomed most of it using avg, but these bits keep popping up. WHen i try to remove these using avg it says they cant be healed.

Im running XP

cheers

If it helps.....

Check out the latest sticky by Dave.m at the top. I had a similar problem with AVG not shifting a Trojan and following Daves advice I got rid of it.

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\agp440.sys";"Trojan horse Generic14.ADMQ";"Object is white-listed (critical/system file that should not be removed)"

Thermo,
Use DrWeb Cureit from:
http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en

It is an uptodate antivirus tool. Just read the instructions on the site and download and run it.
Once it has removed everything that it finds, you can uninstall it as it is a "One-off" program ythat comes with the latest virus definitions but does not update after being installed.

would all appear to be sorted.

Many thanks for all your help

Thermo,
As a final clean up, I would recommend booting into safe mode and running a full scan with AVG.

Safe mode:
Start you computer and keep tapping the F8 key until you get the black screen with options.
Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select Safe Mode and press the Enter key.
When it boots, open AVG and run a scan.

When complete, shut down and it will restart in normal mode.
