Default Update
OK, well I found the problem.. It was a Trojan Horse called Generic 9! There was about 7 files infected.. I updated my AVG and this time it found them.. I quarantined them and now everything is working better. I reinstalled LW and its now operating correctly. Also I noticed that one of the infected files was in my restore directory so I assume that is why I couldn't restore my computer.. I have restarted my computer several time now and everything seems to be still working so I hope I have removed it all.. I assume I should copy my Hijack This log and summit it to those who know but I am not sure where to do that at.. As mentioned elsewhere at this forum, beware of small files!! Thanks..

Genric 9 Trojans Are nasty little Bugs Make sure you got them all they will eat your ram up if you dont.

Thanks.. I have ran my AVG software 2 more times both times after restarting the computer and it hasnt found any more infected files so I hope I have gotten them all.. I had not noticed how much that virus had slowed me down, after removing those infected files my computer has been a lot more stable and is moving better..

Once AVG found the Trojan I googled it and I read where people were having alot of trouble with it.. I read some poeple had it in a lot of files and I also read where people would delete it and it would come right back after start up.. I have been keeping my fingers crossed all day, but I dont want to jinx myself yet.. lol
