Yesterday I acquired a trojan which is being quite persistent.

I noticed problems when my browser (firefox) opened a page to a supposed virus software page which was in turn popping up a

downloader. I could not close the page or get rid of the downloader. On usuing AVG it imediately showed a trojan

called, AGENT.AOQG

On looking this up on google I was unable to view pages from the search as I was directed to different pages to do with

virus software.

I posted on Computer Hope forum

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.ph...ic,72530.0.html

I was advised to install and run various scans and post the logs which can be viewed from the above link.

The problem I am having is that Malware log keeps showing an infected Registry Key but after reboot it is still there. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

Copy of the last log below.

The dll and BHO that go with this are missing so I bet this is a permissions problem , let me get a fix together for you .
