I know this may not be the proper place for this post, but is there any information available that can be forwarded to me regarding this virus? I replied to a post on the virus-worm forum today. Thank You!

Win32:Trojan-gen is a name given by avast! by very generic method of detection. We are not able to give you more detailed description seeing the sample. If you want to get some additional information please send the sample to virus@asw.cz together with the info request ;)

In order to eradicate this virus you just need to do a restauration point.   ;)

I had the same problem  ;)

I also have come up with the Win32.Trojan-Gen, I did do a restore from a point I know was clean, however it is still being detected.  I keep moving them to the chest, turned off my restore and am still trying to find a way to completely remove it.  Any other advise?

um, thanks for that.

I'm guessing mine is a false alarm: I've sent it to alwil but it says the "virus," that is Trogan-gen, is located in C:\System Volume Information\_restore...

Um and a Trojan, I believe, is not a worm.

So hey, anyone got anything helpful to add about that?

I have this in my computer too, it has been detected and deleted several times in folder C:\System Volume Information\_restore... Avast is not completely removing it because it keeps coming back. What to do?

Disable the Systemrestore, restart and enable it again.
