    How to remove BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y trojan from my computer?

    I have installed Windows 7 last week on my personal computer. I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I have installed AVG antivirus to protect my computer from threats like virus or malicious programs. But ever since I have installed Windows 7, my AVG antivirus is showing a pop up message like this “BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y is detected”. I tried to delete it from my personal computer but when I reboot my computer then antivirus shows me the same message again. Can anybody suggest me a solution for that, if possible please mention the preventive measures for keeping my computer safe from threats like viruses.

Trojans like BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y does not affect the processing speed of your personal computer but it transfers your confidential information to a hacker which has designed that Trojan.

    Re: BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y trojan register itself.

    If BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y Trojan enters your system then it will execute multiple registry entries like
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\[file name]

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
    BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y Trojan does this to hide itself from the detection. BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y Trojan also enters the following registry key so that it can start every time your personal computer reboots.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run "auto
    Data: C:\Program Files\Common Files\auto.exe
    Registry key and the auto.exe make the Trojan possible to auto start every time.

    Re: Removal method for BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y

    I was also affected with the same problem I got the solution for this which I would like to share with you. First you have to remove the BackDoor-DOQ.gen.y processes from window task manager. %DIR%\Program Files\Common Files\auto.exe
    %DIR%\Program Files\dnf.exe
    %DIR%\auto.exe
    Remove the following registry key from the registry window.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run "auto"
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Image File Execution Options\[file]
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\policies\Explorer
    And at last you have to block following dynamic link library using command prompt.
    %SYSDIR%\system32\wmitpfs.dll
    %SYSDIR%\system32\kb811164841.dll
    %SYSDIR%\system32\kb011164832.dll
