trojan-spy.html.bankfraud.hs (RESOLVED)
Hi
A scan using F-secure has shown that I have trojan-spy.html.bankfraud.hs infecting my Outlook.pst file. F-secure is not showing which file is infected nor is it able to delete the virus. Any guidance on how I can get rid of it will be much appreciated.

We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.
Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 (AVG AS - formally known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0 - uninstall any previous version first).- Click the Download BUTTON. On the next page click the Download now BUTTON.
- Save and then install (Run) from the save location.
- Open/Run AVG Anti-Spyware
- Wait a few moments and AVG Anti-Spyware should Auto update itself (note date of last update). If it doesn't update, click the update ICON at top of screen:
- Click on the Update now LINK at the top of the window
- Click on the Start update button
- Wait for the update to download and install
- This is very important to get the LATEST updates.
- Click on the Status ICON
- Under "Your computers Security"
Click change status on Resident shield to inactive (ONLY consider activation of that feature once you are clean)
- Click on the Scanner ICON at the top of the window
- Click on the Settings tab then select Recommended Actions and choose Quarantine
- When updating has finished. Close AVG Anti-Spyware.
We will be using this tool in a later step.
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.- If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
- Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
- Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
- Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
- Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
- Login on your usual account.
