just starting to use this avast antivirus.....but a virus warning keeps poping up, need help to set the system in order for the message not to pop up every couple of minutes

[alanrf]

Can you find your way to post a screenshot of the warning?

If not, then at least the details of the warning.

[avastbeginner]

how would i be able to do that???

[avastbeginner]

it says avast warning........A trojan horse was found......there is no reason to panic though. Try to follow the given advice and links......file name: c:\documen~1\\victoria\locals~temp\nwgu32.ex..malware name:win32-robobot-BA (Trj) malware type: trojan horse.....rcomended action move to chest......but a different warning keeps poping up, and yet i keep following what it says

[avastbeginner]

any suggestions of what i could do to stop these messages

hi and welcome ,
schedule a boot time scan (check your help files) . This will allow Avast to remove or move to chest the trojan you have detected.
good luck

   Hi Avastbeginner :

     The best ( and its free ) program for dealing with trojans,
     worms, & "generic" Dialers, is "Ewido" from :
     www.ewido.net.en . This assumes your OS is either Win XP
     or Win 2000. There is a "tutorial" for this program at :
