Well, after my recent thread on my CPU running at 50% constantly, I decided to really step up on my virus scans. As you may recall, I was referred to a program called Process Explorer. I got to playing around with that program and found a "sub-process" linked to explorer.exe that was using up this 50% CPU power. I could not seem to find a solution, but every time when I logged on, I suspended that sub-process and my CPU would return to normal.
Well, just now I ran AVG, which found a "Trojan Horse Generic9" virus. After it found this, I was pretty confident that this is what was causing the problem, but after I restarted my computer to finish the removal, sure enough the problem was back. AVG failed to remove the virus.
So, what are my choices here? A reformat is out of the option, so don't even suggest it. Are there any specific removers for this type of Trojan? Or what about other virus scanners such as Avast or NOD32, would they have the power to fix this?
