I got a Trojan Horse

[xrated]

Like it says AVG just picked up a Trojan. Trojan horse generic15.ACWI

WTF is this and what do I need to do? It's in the virus vault, do I leave it, delete it or what?

Leave it there, it will be fine there.

Do a full scan with AVG to see if there's anymore.

I would also suggest using the following programs:

Ad-Aware
Spybot S&D
SuperAntiSpyware
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware

Using an online scanner like Trend Micro once and a while is a good idea too.

All right I'll leave it....how long am I going to get a message popping up saying one is there?

I don't ever recall getting a popup that a virus is in the virus vault?

Run this

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware

Download it using firefox if you can

my bad it says one has been found and gives me the choice of putting it in the vault.

My nightly scan did pick it up last night, but that was 3 hours after I found it

I'll try that malware stuff tonight.

so which malware should I be downloading? I get a ton when I google it.

edit, I'm giving this one a shot SuperAntiSpyware

running it right now, taking some time, hope it will clear things up. I'm getting pop-ups every 10 damn minutes.
