The past few days I've had 1-2 trojans show up. I changed AVG to delete instead of heal, also unchecked System restore and re-booted (2 were in Backup files)which I thought cleared things up. I've run SUPERAnti-spyware, Ad-aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Stinger which were clean, delted cookies, temp files and history for all 3 users and still today a trojan Generic2.BWU came up on AVG scan. We have 3 users and I can't switch users, on restart it still will only let you log in as one user. I have the filename that had the trojan, can I figure out which site so I can block it from dd? It was a temp winapi file if that helps. The others were backdoor trojans (all had erasem or erase me in name)this one isn't a backdoor one. Also had Polips which Stinger cleaned up. This is the 1st time my system has been effected and I can't find any info on a Generic2 with BWU in the name.
