I'm trying to clean my son's computer. It was infected with quite a few viruses and spyware. I 've gotten rid of most of them except for the virus "Adware Generic.GGW". AVG will find it and delete it but when I scan again it comes right back. The file name it refers to is C:\Windows\System32\??chost.exe.
Also, when I run Spybot it will find these same spyware (Windows Active Desktop, CoolWWWSearch.BadZoneMap, TNS-Search) it will delete them but when I rescan they come right back! I've used Sbybot, Ad-aware SE, CWShredder and Ewido.
Thanks for your help!!
