    Trojan horse help please

    Hi everyone/anyone

    Have a problem which shows up in my computer when i try to do things. The AVG pops up and says threat detected while opening file C:\\windows\system32\cmcfg3.dll Trojan horsePSW.Generic5WFS

    I have followed all the steps in the read me before posting and the results were:

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - nothing found
    Kaspersky Online virus scanner - will attach log
    AVG anti-spyware - nothing found
    Windows defender - no unwanted or harmful software detected.
    Hijack this log - will attach log

    Can someone help me - preferably in simple terms as i am not very literate in the behind the scenes work on computers

    thanks in advance for your time

    For safety reasons, by all means continue to try the Kaspersky site...OR go ahead and use one of the other online scanners given in PP's link some of those do cleaning too so use one of those like BitDefender or Panda. If it finds something tell it to clean.
