    ook all, slight prob here, on my mums comp we have a trojan that AVG (free version) detects on start up, but when we do the full scan it cant find it, any idea's on how to remove the sucker, i've run stinker ans spy bot and it is still there, we have even done a XP repair!!

    I use a Anti Virus program called Avast - you can get it free for home use from www.avast.com

    I have been an avid AVG user in the past but had something quite similar happen to me and so I gave Avast a shot - removed the virus that AVG couldnt. I have since starting switching all my customers machines over as they come back for maintenance and it has proven better then AVG in my opinion. I also HIGHLY recommend you download AdAware and run that.
