    Removing a Trogan?

    2/3 times a day the last week my mccafee virus scan comes upsaying its found a trogan that its cant clean, but has moved to the "virus valt".
    - Nothing else even picks it up (avg/a2/adaware/spybot/mccafee-stinger/etc) an i can seam to get rid of it.
    - The file in question is one i downloaded of of a mates site, and i just want to remove it for good, any ideas?

    Have de infested a few PCs latelly. I do it in this order
    Install Avast antivirus (has a good rep for trojans)
    Update Avast
    Update windows
    If you have XP with SP2 activate the firewall, if not XP install firewall (AVG free version).
    Unplug PC from phone line
    Tell Avast to do a boot scan on next boot
    Reboot
    Pray

    Tends to work most of the time, some times the warning can be the result of reinfection. Hopefully the firewall will stop this.

    Give Ewido a go, it's an trojan scanner/remover:

    If that doesn't work, try trojanhunter.
