Hi-I think I have an TrojanHorseHider.mpr virus as avg keeps saying that it cant find the file or heal it. I have tried to follow your directions by d/loading OTL.exe first but the virus wont let me download ANYTHING. I can start the d/l but everytime it gets to the end it wont complete? Every time I start computer too a message pops up asking if I want to allow a change by Microsoft to the system (screen dims) and if I say no it just keeps coming back straight away until I press yes, which is when AVG pops up and says you have 2 viruses etc. I've just tried to attach a screen shot of failed d/l's but it wont let me attach a word doc

do you have access to another computer where you can download the programs and transfer over to the infected machine via USB?

are you able to boot into safe mode with networking?

Do you still have the same issues in safe mode?

What OS do you have? (32 or 64 bit)
