Unknown dropping in IDP.Trojan.1C8D1A13 and Crypt.AQLW

[cybernorris]

I am working on a system for a family member that has symptoms similar to this one:

http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=65627

AVG is finding recurring instances of IDP.Trojan.1C8D1A13 and Crypt.AQLW.

There has to be something else that AVG is not catching which is repeatedly dropping these known things onto the system. Finding this is outside my area of expertise.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Do you still need help?
