      Have you tried running your AVG in safe mode to see if it would remove it that way?  First thing I would do is try that and also run your spyware scans in safe mode as well.  It seems to me as though it won't delete it because it sees it as a running service.  That shouldn't be the case in safe mode.

        Good suggestions above...
        Have you been visiting any Cooking sites ? ?
        Swagat is authentic Indian cuisine...
        The Trojan threat listed does not come up at any of the Security Forums i belong to...

        It may be just a false positive...these things happen. But take the above advice to make sure.

              You can try this utility here and see if maybe that can remove it.  It claims to be able to remove most Trojans.  I hope that helps you.  I'll keep an eye out for any other possible solutions.

                Why not navigate to the folder where it is located and delete the contents.

                  Sounds as if this tech that worked on your machine has built in some job security for himself...

                  Re-boot into safemode and follow Win2K D's advice from above.
                  Then DLoad and run HijackThis...save the results to a text file and post it in our Virus and Spyware section.

                  DO NOT let HijackThis fix anything until you have been advised...

                    Click the above...you should save the log as a text file then copy and paste it there...it may take more than one post to get it all.
