Question
hiii...
I got a virus Win32:Trojan-gen {Other} detected by my avast antivirus in a removable disk. I formatted it several times but the virus does not go. What is the solution?

Answer
Hi Anamjit,

You could try downloading Norton 360 Version 2.0 for a free 15 day trial period. Once you instll it, have it run a scan on the CD/DVD, then follow the directions on how to remove.

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
