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 :tu:

it might be hiding in system restore.

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.

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.
