Title: trojans trojans and more trojans (new topic)

See my avg will have a pop-up saying it detected this trojan. I vault it then wipe it from my comp. Then in a day or two there ends up being a few more. It ends up being about 3 trojans per week.

All your logs are clean, so....your warning may be false positive.
What is the alleged trojan name, and location?

The next time you receive the warning, write it down and post it here in a reply.

Thanks to my fellow malware removal specialist, evilfantasy's PM...
You have TWO antiviruses running at the same time: AVG, and Norton. This is a big NO-NO.
You have to uninstall one of them.

Norton Removal Tool (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039)

Do yourself a favor and run both diskclean and defrag after this...

After using Norton Removal Tool, I searched my registry for any keys containing words: Norton, Symantec, and I found numerous entries, which I deleted.
You may do this, as well. Back up your registry, first
