This keeps popping up, but scanning this directory using AVG comes up with nothing, and aparently, it's not accessible to the user so I can't manually delete it.

Can someone please help me out? I'm running out of ideas, and it's annoying the hell outta me

Hi Andrew!

Restart the computer in Safe Mode and run AVG across the whole system

That should let AVG find the virus and heal/delete it.

Thanks for the suggestion

No problem, if it doesn't work let me know

I tried booting into safe mode, but AVG refuses to run in Safe mode.

Any other ideas?

Hmm that's very odd. Can you boot into safe mode with Command Prompt? If so, do that and run AVG from the command line...

AVG is a windows application with a Graphical Interface, how could it work on a commandline???

Is there not a command line program that comes with AVG? Or is that just with the paid version?

Not that I know of

OK, well the only thing I can suggest apart from getting a different virus scanner (or paying for AVG to get the proper GUI) is to use an online virus scanner, such as:

Trying it right now.

I think it worked. It removed a trojan virus, and I havn't seen the pop-up at all today. My hard drive free space also went from 100 mb to 400mb.

Thanks Geforce!

Good one Andrew. Trojan horses are the worst of the lot IMO. Glad you got rid of it
