Everytime I run my virus scan, this trojan keeps coming up "Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}". Can someone please help me remove it. Also, can someone help me look at my system files to make sure that I dont have any other virus or trojans of any kind. I have a copy of my hijackthis at the bottom.

@Noted: posted a HijackThis log and later reported commercials playing with no browser open; suggested continuing in the other thread. Below is a concise, prioritized cleanup checklist that fits the symptoms (persistent trojan detections + background audio) and that moderators or helpers can follow when asking for fresh logs.

Immediate safety and prep

  • Isolate the PC from the network (unplug or disable Wi‑Fi) to stop callbacks and prevent further payloads.
  • From a clean machine, download removal tools to removable media and back up only personal data (documents, photos) — do not copy executables or installers without scanning them first. (support.eset.com)

Prioritized cleanup steps (one pass, then re-check)

  1. Attempt to stop malicious processes so scanners can run (use a tool such as RKill).
  2. Run full on‑demand scans in this order: Malwarebytes (full scan), then a second on‑demand scanner such as Microsoft Safety Scanner or ESET Online Scanner to catch anything the first missed. Quarantine everything those tools flag and reboot only if requested by the tools.
  3. Use Sysinternals Autoruns to inspect and remove suspicious startup entries; use Process Explorer / ProcMon to inspect running processes, parent/command lines and to hunt which process is producing audio (hidden browsers or dropped media players are common causes of “audio with no browser” behavior). (bleepingcomputer.com)

Escalation if items persist

  • If removers fail or a rootkit/persistent component is suspected, create and boot from a rescue disk (example: Kaspersky Rescue Disk) and scan offline.
  • Collect FRST + Autoruns + Malwarebytes/ESET logs and attach them when requesting further help; experienced responders prefer those modern snapshots to old HijackThis fixes. Also avoid using HijackThis “Fix” blindly — post logs instead.
  • Because the system is Windows XP, upgrading to a supported OS should be part of the recovery plan; unsupported OSes remain highly vulnerable. (support.kaspersky.com)

Continue the detailed troubleshooting in the other DaniWeb thread as suggested and include fresh FRST/Autoruns logs and the on‑demand scan logs for faster, safer guidance.
