My computer recently got infected by a virus called Win32: Trojano-1728[Trj]. Avast antirvirus has detected the problem yet seems to be unable to "move to chest" or "delete" it seeing how the message keeps coming back about a virus after repeatedly selecting "move to chest". The effects of the virus are AD SPAM popups on my computer. I'm sure many people on here have worse problems, but any help or anything you guys know would be appreciated. I need to remove the virus and possibly find a particular program that knows how to remove the Win32:Trojano. I can carry out a process you might explain to me, as long as you tell me where I need to go to do it. Thanks for your help.

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.
