A friend of mine dropped of his computer recently for me to remove a lot of malware and spyware. I used Super anti spyware and spybot s&d to remove the more noticeable stuff and used Dr Web cureit to hammer the harder stuff. With 203 problems total caught by all three i installed Avast Free edition and it keeps going nuts on this file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\append.dll It says its a Win32 Trojan-gen {Other}. Avast wont move it, delete it, repair it, quarintine it, or even ignore it. Ive tried to manually delete it and it regenerates itsself. I figured i have had enough and id let someone else figure it out.


ran a hijack this scan and can already see somethings that need to be fixed/removed but ifigured id let someone more experienced take the reigns
