I have 2 trojans which my avg found a few days ago and
supposedly healed but whenever I run adaware se (which is now defunct because no updates available so thinking of getting rid of but not sure what to replace with,but I guess that's another topic) and also when I open up my registry cleaner program (cleanmypc.com) and click on the BHO organiser.
One of these trojans(possibly both am not sure) relate to a file named sxsc.dll.Whenever I try to manually delete it (an option given in said registry cleaner program) it just opens up the avg alert window giving an option to move or heal.I've tried both options but the trojans remain.Also sometimes when i've used
the heal option I have to reboot to complete the process only to
find it still on my system.
I ran hijackthis and under either 020 or 023(can't remember which) and also under BHO2 the sxsc is listed.I checked the boxes for both and chose the ''fix'' option but they still remain when I re-ran the hjt scan.
I have considered removing adaware se and replacing it with ''Superantispyware'' program but upon checking the reviews of download.com they are somewhat mixed.I don't like the thought of adaware 2007 due to again very mixed reviews and also the fact it's a 20meg program.
I do have spybot but depsite the program getting larger and larger all the time from the updates it never finds anything either.
I don't know how malicious these 2 trojans are but regardless,I want to get rid of them.
Any advise would be really appreciated.Thanks
