Techie Help!

Post by MegaTon »

Got an annoying AVG Popup telling me to heal/delete a trojan called Lop.AX!
Trouble is when i click too heal it (successfully) it pops up again an hour later! Infact its done it every hour since yeasterday! I had so far i have scanned using AD-Ware, 2 different virus scanners, AVG and Trend Micro. Using Hi-Jack this as well and can find nothing that looks suspicious! Run Spyhunter at the moment which may or may not remove it. Any one got any other ideas on how too remove this little bugger?

Try heal/delete in Safe-mode with System Restore turned off.


The Panda online scan should nuke it, if this doesn't work.
