Hi there, I am new to this board but not new to avast! Anyway I am having some problems with a couple things and I can't seem to get rid of them.
Avast is constantly (around every 15 mins or so) finding trojans and adaware (named Hoaxalarm) in my system. The Trojans Show up in the System32, as alot seem todo. Now each of these trojans has a different location, but are all in System32. This leads me to believe that I have a Trojan Downloader. I have cleared my Temp Interent folder in safe mode, I have yet to run a scan in safe mode yet I fear this will do nothing. I run the following protection programs:
Avast!
Microsoft Anti-spyware
Adaware
Spy-bot: Search and Destroy
I have all of these scans excluding Avast, as it is always running and always picks up anything before it has a chance todo damage.
I realize Hoaxalarm has been discussed before

Are this Trojans connected to Hoaxalarm??
Any suggestions on how to get rid of these problems?
Any help will be much appreciated. thank you
