    Hiya

    Im running XP, avg detected trojans, the first one it got rid of, the second one Generic13.ATHP it could only remove it partially, apparently located in in c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe

    Started the Malware Removal Process as recommended, SuperAntiSpyware wouldnt install, so I changed the filename, and it has installed but when I attempt to run it I get an error message -

    SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience


    The same happens with any other malware/spyware removal program, Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes etc...

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Thankyou!

    Hi again,

    also tried doing this (as seen in another thread)

    Click Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices.

    * Scroll down to “Non-plug and Play Drivers” and click the plus icon to open those drivers.
    * Then search for TDSSserv.sys
    * Let me know if you find this or not.
    * If you do find it, right click on it, and select Disable. Do not try to uninstall it.
    * Also if this is found and you disable it, then reboot and see if you can run the cleaning procedure and attach the requested logs.


    but the device mentioned is not present (although there are a few that have error "!" things next to them, but 30 or so others.

    :confused have no idea if any of this will help you lovely helper person, but i guess im just trying...

    Have you tried running them in safe mode? Have you tried to run MGTools.exe? We need to see some logs in order to assist you.

    As to the devices with a "!", you need to post in the software forum to find out what is wrong with those devices.
