    Devin, can you confirm the trojan?

    You should have read the "BEFORE YOU POST" sticky. You were advised not to bump your thread.

    It it has been four (4) or more days with no response, please post in the waiting room.

    What PC is that in your Malware thread? A personal computer (desktop) or a labtop?

    Thank you

    In simpler terms, it means like posting another post before you received a response.

    In the Malware Forums, it can mean:
    -Bumping as in "Hello?, anybody there?, i need help... : (, &etc.)
    -Or bumping as in posting another log before the user has received a response.

    I actually thought you meant "treat" as in literally.

    I know, you meant "threat".

    Default where is the waiting room

    How do I find the "waiting room" you referred to.

    I just got another downloader.generic7.AGNL threat notice.

    I really do need help on this.

    Thank you

    Was AVG successful in removing the trojan?

    This "trojan.downloader" seems serious. It may open a backdoor or install more garbage. But don't worry you're in good hands.

    What is a Trojan Downloader?
    [quote=Trojan Downloader (generic description)

    Trojan downloader is usually a standalone program that attempts to hiddenly download and run other files from remote web and ftp sites. Usually trojan downloaders download different trojans and backdoors and activate them on an affected system without user's approval. Trojan downloader, when run, usually installs itself to system and waits until Internet connection becomes available. After that it attempts to connect to a web or ftp site, download specific file or files and run them.[/quote]
