| 484257 | 2006-09-13 01:26:00 | A friend's computer has AVG reporting infection with Win32.CryptExe virus/trojan but seems unable to remove it. Are there any 'one click' removal tools for this particular nasty? I have tried a google search but most return only an alternative AV rather than a specific fix. She is not wonderfully confident with her computer so the simpler solution seems the best option. It seems to be pretty invasive and I suspect that manual removal might be a bit beyond her competence O/S is XP Home but I do not have other machine specs at this time. I have suggested TrendMicro House Call but I am not sure whether this will actually fix the problem or only identify it. Alternatively, I could get her to download HJT and get her to send me the report to post here. Many thanks in advance |

| 484259 | 2006-09-13 02:54:00 | Your searches are pointing to an alternative AV because it is a quirk of the present AV to report this as a Nastie. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 484260 | 2006-09-13 05:46:00 | Thanks Kjaada. That would certainly be consistant with my lack of results. Is there a way to desensitise AVG to the file? The constant reporting is somewhat unnerving :o |

| 484262 | 2006-09-13 07:54:00 | Hmm. Yes. Knowing that her degree of nouce is probably second only to my own in deficiency, I imagine that it might just reveal a bit that she doesn't know about... yet! I'll do so as soon as she gets home from work. |
