avg problems deleting or saving in volt.
Hi folks, I recently ran avg after searching a few crack sites for a serial for a program, had problems before with trojans from these sites. Anyway I got a list of about 1000 virus which had hidden extentions, exe type files. These were located in windows folders, trouble is avg will not delete them nor can i search and locate the folders which they are supposidly in.
First i went to my computer icon then clicked tools, then folder option, and made sure that all hidden files and extentions, sub folders and what not were on show all hidden extentions and what not, it still will not locate the folders using start, then scroll up to search, any clues how to locate and delete hidden extentions found with avg 7.0?
Many thanks

A trojan is not a virus and AV programs typically will not remove them. It must be done manually.
Open my computer>click tools>click folder options>
click view tab>check show hidden files>uncheck hide file extensions>
click apply>click OK>exit
Post a new log if you have not done this. If you have then disregard this.
I do not see anything in your log. Have you been able to resolve any of your issues?

Then delete these files or directories:
C:\Program Files\Media Access
C:\Program Files\ISTsvc
C:\temp\salm.exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer
C:\WINNT\system32\p2pnetwork.exe
The salm.exe file may or may not be located in a specific directory. Whatever directory you find this in delete it. It may be labeled 180 solutions. If it is a stand alone file then just delete that file. If there is a directory for the p2pnetwork then delete the whole directory as well.
