| I *stupidly* opened a zipped attachment - I know - I know (but there was a
| reason I won't go into). It contained win32-trojan.gen{other}

| I have used Avast for years now and always sung its praises, however
| although Avast did flag the virus and shout at me (as it does), whatever
| action I took >delete>repair>put-in-vault or whatever, the trojan kept
| coming back on reboot. The same was true about SpybotS&D.

| In the end I downloaded SuperAntiSpyware free and it removed the trojan in
| a trice.

| The question is: would AVG have done any better?

"the trojan keptcoming back on reboot".

Kept coming back...  Where ?
What is the fully qualified name and path to the file that was deemed infected 
infected 
with this Trojan (not a virus) and what is the fully qualified name and path to 
the file 
that kept coming back ?
