GENERIC2.OCL I have recently been receiving the following message from AVG free edition: -------- VIRUS DETECTED! While opening file: c:\windows\system32\avpe32.dll Trojan Horse.BackDoor.Generic2.OCJ ? ignore info heal move to vault -------- I have tried updating AVG, healing, moving etc... to no avail. The software states that the infected file does not exist. Windows also insists that that particular file does not exist. The message appears repeatedly, at irregular intervals. I have recently installed PC Anywhere 11.0 downloaded from UseNext Has anybody come across a similar problem? Does anybody know if there is a fix?

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified. You can download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed. Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor at this forum. Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.
