Hi
Following a session on MSN I noticed my pc was running sloooow. I also had at that time a dialog box headed windows installer popping up which told me Daemons and crss.exe could not be installed??. I stopped what I was doing (playing football manager game)and ran a AVG scan which found 3 new trojans.
After quarantine of these items I rebooted and done another scan and they seemed to replicate themselves and be found again on a new scan. In safe mode I scanned again with sys restore turned off and ran clear. PC is running OK but one of the paths of quarantined trojans was found in Windows\System32\smss.exe. I deleted this from quarantine and from my system but smss.exe is a windows operating file and is usually found in this location. OOPs Have I done untold damage to my machine as I dont see smss.exe in that location now.
I do see smss.exe running in Task Manger however. AVG is a bit vague on naming trojans found on scans usually just naming them BackDoor Generic TrojansLKK which cannot be found on symantec virus encyclopdia ect. Might go for a paid program if there are any user recommendations. Tried Norton and its OK but to demanding on rescources.
Any advice please on the damage I may have done deleting smss.exe named as a trojan by AVG?
