trojan horse Dropper.Generic.AGX

    Date: 09/28/05 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: virus, web, yahoo, google

    My AVG has a scheduled scan to run at 8am every morning, it did that today and ding'ed to let me know that I had a virus. There was a trojan horse Dropper.Generic.AGX in C:/Program Files/AIM/backup/uninstall.exe —i deleted the .exe (I can just re-dl AIM again if I need the uninstaller) and just wanted to know if a.) i definately got rid of the infection and b) if anyone knew of what the virus is. ive googled, came up dry, and this is rather odd since I never get virus'. not since the sasser when I installed back in June.


    any help is appreciated.



    eta; ive noticed notepad.exe is running slow, when that program never does. its too small to run slow. in any case, ive noticed that for two days and figured it'd stop once i stopped downloading a torrent. never did stop lagging. dont know if that has anything to do with it.

    eta ii;
