    Hello everyone,

    Please help me!!! I recently came across a virus/malware that was recognized by my Avast Pro Anti Virus. When my windows Xp loads, my Anti Virus (Avast) runs a check, it immediately reminds me of this virus found.

    " C:\a.bat contains VBS:Malware.gen'! " I've tried removing it within Avast, and it keeps coming back after the reboot of the Windows XP. It is definitely a malware, and it's really stubborn. I need someone' who is diligent enough to REMOVE this permanently from my machine.

    I've tried HIJack This, CCleaner, and AntiSpyware (Free Edition), but it still keeps coming back.

    Please help help help!!!

    This is why we ask you to attach the logs from the guide, these logs hold valuable information on where this malware is located and will assist our malware experts in posting some further instructions tailored to removing your infection.

    Scans are not enough which is why some ( especially the MGLOGs ) do pinpoint the locations and unusual files names that some malwares have, these need to be looked over manually by a trained professional in this area.

    So do follow the steps one by one, in order and attach the logs.
