Hello all.

In an AVG-AS scan report, I sometimes see some entries like this:

May I ask where is the exact location this infection is at?




Merry Christmas,

Update the AVG AntiSpyware and scan again. You should scan your System also in safe-mode of Windows.
Still removal problems, then scan your System with an Anti-Rootkit Scanner:

EDIT:
There is no full path information because the threat is loaded in the virtual memory space of a running process.

 

The threat is in 'memory' but you can look in AVG-AS's analysis section to find out what Process is involved. The number in square brackets is the PID which will appear in the Processes tab. If the object doesn't clean, it is sometimes possible to terminate the process and then get AVG-AS to clean it. Unfortunately, where the threat is a .dll trojan loaded into an important system file it may not be possible to terminate the process because to do so would BSOD you.
