A few focused steps that build on ’s HijackThis advice and target why AVG can remove the file but it keeps coming back: trojan droppers usually persist by installing something that runs at boot (run keys, services, scheduled tasks), by altering the hosts file or DNS so the machine fetches a replacement, or by hiding a copy inside System Restore so it gets recreated on reboot.

Recommended procedure:

  • Isolate the machine (disconnect network) to stop command/control or reinfection.
  • Boot to Safe Mode and temporarily disable System Restore (infected restore points can reintroduce malware).
  • Update antivirus definitions, run a full offline/boot-time scan if the AV supports it, and run a second-opinion on-demand scanner from a different vendor. Repeat the scans in Safe Mode.
  • Re-run HijackThis (as suggested) and remove clearly unwanted toolbars/BHO/run-keys; then check the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and the TCP/IP DNS settings and restore them to the ISP/default or to trusted DNS servers if they were changed. Do not repost sensitive account credentials, but showing DNS IPs for troubleshooting is fine.

If the item still respawns:

  • Use an offline rescue environment (bootable AV/rescue CD or clean live OS) to scan and remove files without Windows running.
  • Use a startup/process inspector (Autoruns/Process Explorer or equivalent) to find what recreates the file — look at services, drivers, Scheduled Tasks and RunOnce keys. Remove the reinsertion mechanism first, then delete the payload.
  • If removal cannot be guaranteed, back up personal data (scan backups for infection) and perform a clean OS reinstall; change all online passwords afterwards from a known-clean machine and consider submitting a sample to the AV vendor so signatures can be improved.

Note: the NameServer lines in a HijackThis log simply show which DNS servers the PC is using. If those addresses were not deliberately set, treat them as suspicious and reset DNS to automatic or to a trusted server.

The rest of the log would be nice to see :)

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O3 - Toolbar: QuickSearch Search Bar - {82315A18-6CFB-44a7-BDFD-90E36537C252} - C:\Program Files\QuickSearch\QuickSearchBar1_27.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Openwares LiveUpdate] C:\Program Files\LiveUpdate\LiveUpdate.exe

Reboot & delete the Liveupdate folder.

You may want to remove MyWay from add/remove programs too. It has elements of spyware in it.

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

I'm STILL having trouble getting rid of the virus Dropper.Small.4.AG AVG Is failing to get rid of it.

Any help would be appreaciated.

Here is my hijack this log.
