O.P. Nasty little trojan horse
Well, thanks to my brother just now telling me that our office computer has a virus on it I can't do a system restore to get rid of this little bastard. It's called "Generic2.AVS". I have used both AVG Professional and NOD32. Both have healed the virus, but after every reboot the stupid thing comes back. What it does is disconnect my internet and connect to some dodgy place in Austrailia which I'm being billed for. I've looked on my startup list (msconfig), and I don't see anything out of the norm. I've googled this but nothing has helped.

Solution anyone? Really annoying, especially now that the family computer is down :(.
I'm on: Twitter, Facebook, and Neowin
