Trojan virus

Virus
Trojan horse Downloader.Dyfica.AJ

is found in file
C:\DOCUME~1\Adrian\LOCALS~1\Temp\optimize.exe

To remove this virus, please run AVG for Windows


Okay here's the deal, it looks like its a temporary file. So I do use my antivirus AVG program, it DOES get removed, but every so often it comes back. I'm beginning to think which site I am getting this. Either that, or this is a worm. Unless this is some super trojan, I don't understand how it keeps coming back. Any help?

To add: There is no apparent problems with my laptop that have the hacking effects of a Trojan. I'm talking about weird stuff like unsolved mouse button switches, automatic shut down / restart, etc.

That's because the aliens now have full access to your computer and are tracking every thing you do, and just re-plant the file when you try to remove it.


Just kidding. Try running Ad-aware, if you havn't. If that doesn't work, there's a program called "HijackThis", Which can scan your registy for bad things. Some of the things that it comes up with (which it clearly says) may not be bad and might need to be there. You should know enough about your computer to know what you need and what shouldn't be there (the info button can help, too). I reccomend trying that.

On one of your harddrives there's a folder called "Windows"
Remove that

This is a particularly nasty Trojan. It often invades your computer on the back of Spyware and Adware. Just disinfecting with an anti-virus is not enough because it will just re-install when you next boot up.
Run your anti-virus and clear the Trojan, then run Spybot or Adaware (Free downloads from www.spybot.com or http://www.lavasoftusa.com). Quarantine all the spyware these pick up before you re-boot.

Sometimes this Trojan will infect your Restore files (Me & XP only). Windows will not let you delete any files from this location, so after you've run the anti-virus and the spy cleaner disable System Restore and re-boot. Then enable System Restore and re-boot again. This will re-write the Restore files with (hopefully) clean data.

To be extra safe run your anti-virus and Spy Cleaner again.

I second that.... I didn't really care but since you guys have solved this for me thanks.
