AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows 7, Vista and XP

Download. Install. Run.

[Robbi]

not at all Vox...

You cant just give him a free Anti virus to sort his stuff.

First you need some details from him, if it is that bad that he is getting errors when loading games he is probably better off formatting.

[martov]

trojan??? I bet my life that it has nothing to do with malware...

please post your SO and specs of your system and "this error"

[VoXiNaTiOn]

AVG Free has fixed soooo many problems that I've encountered and tends to be my first call when dealing with misbehaving software.


Reformatting is normally the next step I take, just to try and save some hassle.

[Robbi]

as the OP hasnt given us any info at all really their is no point speculating at all

Maybe he will come back, maybe he wont

[jph701]

[Robbi]

Plod, His isnt a PB showing a trojan, it is a virus.

Have a look at post number 2 here mate

TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen - Safer Networking Forums

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Errrrr thx robbi but a little over my head all that, I want to empty and reload all my PC this weekend anyway!
I was under the impression that this 'trojan' was actually PB as if I block it or delete then i can't get on any servers
and it happens when i launch PR
But I am a clueless noob.

[jph701]

lol same here PLODDITHANLEY im just seeing if thers anyway i can remove dis thing easily but i guess none and i want to clean my computer dont care if it takes long ima ask my dad im a noob on pc stuff lol ima study on it when i stop playing video games^ ^idk when their so addictable u know how i feel lol ima read dat link some time tomrow robbi thnx <3 and im playing gta4 while im this tihng is f'ed up and i reinstalled bf2 and ima install PR again and see if it works now is this thing gonna disappear if AVG free kept scanning or wat?

[Robbi]

If it finds it, and can quarantine or delete it then cool, it will be gone.

[jph701]

AVG free kept scanning every 1 hour and da results is dat it dont find any threats do you think its gone? and how do i delete it or quarantine it?

[J.F.Leusch69]

i read that AVG doesnt tell the truth about the "trojaner" or "virus",.... they will fix the problem in the next updates...sunday was named so far. till than just ignore or try updating your PB or deactived your AVG when playing.

Importened: this is just my advice! you should always search yourself for a solution or use google!

[nick20404]

Use Avast! free anti virus and do a BOOT TIME scan, so the Trojan/virus can be removed without windows activated, and Avast! is allot better than AVG imo.
