hi Jonathan193, first we will use hjt, then look for and delete a file. before using hjt, please disable AVG guard, if its running. i think you can do this be selecting exit from the icon by the clock. hjt: start HJT, click the "Scan" button. check the items below, close any open windows, then click "Fixed checked" O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [amva] C:\WINDOWS\system32\amvo.exe next: navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32 look for and delete amvo.exe if it gives you problems, try a boot into safe mode to delete it. to reach safe mode you would tap the f8 key during a computer restart, chose the first option: safe mode navigate to system32 dir in safe mode and delete the .exe

hi,

thanks for the info. try this first then look for the exe in the system32 dir:

FOr XP: on the desktop double click my computer,go to tools>folder options>view> then select "show hidden files and folders", then UNcheck "hide protected operating system files " also UNcheck "hide extensions for known file types" click apply to all folders, apply then ok

hjt has the ability to delete some files. i see you have avg antispyware, i dont see a resident anti virus?
please do a online scan here:

ESET online scanner:

http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/

uses Internet Explorer only
check "YES" to accept terms
click start button
allow the ActiveX component to install
click the start button. the Scanner will update.
check both "Remove found threats" and "Scan unwanted applications"
click scan
when done you can find the scan log at:C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
please copy/paste that log in next reply.

hi,

and it didn't find any threat i think my computer is clean right now,


ok good. but you need a resident antivirus, avg antispyware is more for trojans not virus/worms.

avg antivirus free edition: download, install, update and scan.
