Message: Hello. Everytime I open a progrm on my copmuter (ie) Internet Explorer, the following message comes up from AVG: Multiple threat Detection. Found 2 c:\windows\system32\dxovobj.dll Infection: TrojanHorseDownloader.generic_r.CV I tried to search google for dxovobj.dll, but I was not able to find anything. When I locate the file to delelte it, is states the file is in use. When I check the AVG logs, there is no mention of this file/infection. I think this may be a form of spyware. Any suggestions? Thanks Chris

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these sites:

Rename the setup file, mbam-setup.exe, before you download it. To do that once the "enter name of file to save to" box appears as the download begins in the filename box rename mbam-setup.exe to tool.exe> click save.

1. Double Click tool.exe to install the application.
2. Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
3. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
4. Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan. The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
5. When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
6. Make sure that everything found is checked, and click Remove Selected.
7. When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediately.
8. The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

Please download and install the latest version of HijackThis v2.0.2:
