W32: Trojan- gen

Post by Juliet04 »

Dose anyone know what this is or how to get rid or this? I seem to have too pop on avast and tell me I have it when Im downloading a program that I used to not have a problem with before. Also when I try and install 2 cds I used to not have any problems with. I cant find any information on this trojan and others I know are downloading this internet progrm without anything happening that shouldnt be. What is this trojan and what is causing my pc to do this? I tried the hijack thing and cant find anything that is wrong? Not sure if this means I have a trojan thats not showing up or what? Any help?

Avast is known for having false positives, in any case please post a HijackThis log.

is avast still picking it up, the latest virus definitions should fix it, there was a discussion on their forums at http://forum.avast.com/?lang=ENG about this false positive, which they seem to have fixed, I also had the alert.
