Thumbs down Please help with virus
Hi
My AVG has found a virus (trojan horse downloader.swizzor) but it can't fix it for some reason.
Has anyone had this virus & what did they use to get rid of it?

Thanks for any help

You may have to go into DOS to remove it.

That's what happened ther one time when I had AVG and couldn't remove a virus.Go to the AVG site for the info on removing it.

http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

By the way AVG is the best FREE virus scanner but it is not the best AV around.It would pay to BUY an AV product.

Incog.
