| | Vista - Trojan Infection removed what now? |

| 10-04-2008 | #1 |
| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Trojan Infection removed what now? First time I have ever I have had an infection notice! I booted up my PC - Acer T180\Vista SP-1 - this morning to find an AVG notice: Trojan Horse Small AOQ on file: C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\mchInj\Drv.sys I clicked on 'heal' but told file couldn't be found and the notice closed. I opened AVG - AVG Free 8.0 - and removed the 'infection' which I assume means the file is deleted. I then ran an AVG full scan and nothing fou7nd. What now? I don't recognize the driver, not sure whether I need it and in anycase I don't have a Vista installation disc - only a recovery disc that was made when I bought the computer. What next, if anything please? |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Trojan Infection removed what now? I have already done that - the san revealed nothing - but now after another reboot, I received the same message, so I this time I clicked on 'remove to vault' - but looking in vault it is not there! Maybe Vista will not allow it's removal? This is obviously a driver that opens on boot up, but on doing a Vista search, it cannot be found!. |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Trojan Infection removed what now? A did a quick google on this and the main cause seems to be a program called spyware doctor - do you have that installed? |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Trojan Infection removed what now? Many thanks, that was very helpful. I have rebooted, rescanned, uninstalled Spyware Doctor, rebooted, installed Adaware (for now) rebooted and full scanned and so far everything OK. |
