I do a scan and it finds a bunch of stuff but the options for removal are vague at best. What do I want to do to the files? Quarantine them to the virus vault. However some will need a cleaner tool Thanks! I'l see how that goes. When I do this it pops up that removal may damage my computer but I get past that and then it comes up with files can't be found. I'll try doing what you suggested. Whats a Cleaner tool? Christian Zombie Vampires | |

BTW...most trojan's are "harmless" and most simply affect your internet browsing. But they are annoying and should be removed. I don't think they can cripple or destroy your HD. Mine simply opens up a gajillion browsers when surfing. SOme sites are safe to go to like Yahoo, but most are not. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Sooooo many jokes dude 
Some viruses need a removal tool because just deleting them is not enough, the AVG site will help if required. | |

1. Kill McAfee
2. Upload the file that McAfee flagged to www.virustotal.com then: 3. If McAfee is the only one that flags the file, you've got nothing to worry about. 4. If other AV's flag it however. 5. Download an antivirus live-cd (f-secure has one, kaspersky too, I like the one from Antivir the best ...) 6. Boot your PC with the live-cd 7. Clean up tha shit. 8. Install AVG instead of McAfee. 9. Keep using the internet responsibly. 
There's about a 90% chance that McAfee flagged it in error. Don't panic! | |

Ace said: McAfee VirusScan:
Trojan Found
The file C:\Documents and Settings\Ace\My Documents\WhereIKeepAllMyGoodShit is infected by the Generic.dx trojan and cannot be cleaned. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO NOW?!  2 OPTIONS: 1. get the AVG anti-virus (free edition) software and used it immediately. OR 2. get Ubuntu (a disto of Linux) as your new OS. | |

I wish you were here. I had 5 or 6 viruses at one time and my friend got rid of all of them. All I lost was 1 picture. Everything else was saved.
