    Hi,

    Sophos has recently detected that there is a virus "troj/virtum-gen" on my computer, however it can't seem to get rid of it. I've done a dozen scans both in safe mode and in normal mode, but it still won't remove the virus.
    The logfile is below. Can someone help please?

    Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
    Scan saved at 9:54:36 AM, on 12/11/2008
    Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16735)
    Boot mode: Normal


    C:\DOCUME~1\COMPUT~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for HiJackThis.zip\HijackThis.exe

    Hi There - if I had to guess that is either a false positive or a virtumundo infection. Please start here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 It will help, so do not pass go, do not collect 200.00.

    Also, don't run HijackThis from inside the zip file. Extract it to a folder first.
