So as far as I know it's labeled as Win32.downloader.gen by s&d+av 2.6 and it's in the C:\END location but no matter how many times i remove it via system scans it comes back over and over again. I recently went straight to the file itself and scanned it and it's coming up completely clean, but I haven't even done the fix selected thing. Anyone know whats going on?
