Hi,

I am a 50+ year old semi-retired person. I enjoy technology but it seems to be getting a little ahead of me.
Any help I can get these days I greatly appreciate. Happy to contribute where ever I can.
Thanx.

I'm running AVG 8.5.339. It is alerting me to Trojan Horse BHO.IZO located in system32/xwr61853.dll. I am running spyware to confirm.
I am a bit concerned about AVG's false positive's. I can't find anything on the web about this Trojan.
Should I just use AVG to "remove" infections or do I need to do something smarter?

Where one infection has found its way in, others may have followed, or be co-existing unseen.

I'm sure with the help of our Malware Team you'll soon have your problems sorted out.

There's also plenty to read and learn here, so have a good look around.
