    I'll bet money(not really) that this is the solution...Same thing happened to me with avg.

    Whats happening is its finding a trojan saved in your system restore backup files, so it isn't being found by a normal scan.

    Simple solution.

    Goto Control Panel, System, and then click on the system restore tab.

    Check "Turn off system restore on all drives", wait until its finished deleting all your restore files and then uncheck the box to turn it back on.

        If you decide to reformat make sure you get the format tool that's specific to your HD that turns everything into a 0; some of the trojan's will survive a regular format.

          a few months ago i had AVG tell me i had a virus but every time i ran it it would freeze up when i tried to remove it. the problem was it was just an ad thing in my temp files and somehow it couldn't get there , i dont know thats just the explanation i got. i ran adaware on a custom mode where it would search EVERYTHING and it went away then. i dont know if you have the same problem though.

          try searching for the name of the trojan on google and see if you can find a website that tells you how to remove it
