I am running the free version of AVG, and Vista. Everytime I open a webpage AVG warns of a threat, and asks if I would like to remove the threat by "FORCE" which if answered yes could result in system instability or potentially crash. The file that is infected is:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSIVX{random letters here).dll
Currently the problem seems to have been resolved as my system locked up after I walked away from the computer and my screen saver initiated. I had to cold boot the computer, however when the system came back up, it failed to boot. By rolling the system to a backup prior to the infection date using the bootup restore option the problem seems to have gone away. Yet I am not confident.
Could anyone enlighten me on this Trojan as to what it does, and if you know how to assure me that the computer is not infected?
Thank you for your help!!!
