Trojan Gen [other]

[rastan]

I get this virus in the Local Settings\Temp\
 dir. When I try to delete or repair I get a message that the file can't be found. This is in Windows XP Home & I'm running the Avast Home Ed.  The Local Settings dir is hidden.

  HELP! PLEASE!

Hi,

-set Explorer-options to show all files/folders and extensions and then search/scan again..

- you might want to scan the file with KAV or Trend (see my signature below) to get a more specific virus name and removal instructions.. (IF the trojan has indeed activated yet)

- another approach would be to totally empty the Temp folder, either manually, or with WIN's built-in Cleanup-Tool
