    My Widows XP Pro stopped working. It gets to the Windows splash screen
    and reboots. Running Superantispyware from the Windows 7 part of the
    dual boot it showed three different Trojan viruses on the Windows XP drive.
    Trojan.Agent/Gen-Bumat
    Trojan.Agent/Gen-Orsam
    Trojan.Agent/Gen-Sirefef
    It says it cleaned them but they show in the next scan after rebooting.
    This happened three times, it would show them removed and they were
    back.
    I updated to a newer version of Superantispyware and those Trojans
    were no longer found but six others were listed. After a reboot, it seems
    as those are gone now. Another scan is running.
    I've never had a Trojan on any of my computers and wonder if they are
    false positives. I've never had a problem with the program, either, and
    hope this isn't a new ongoing problem...
