How to remove Trojan.Agent/Gen-FakeCodec from my system

[Bavol]

Hello,

I am using Windows XP as my operating system and everything was working fine till yesterday but today when i started my system i found that it was taking lots of time for my system to get started. So i ran AVAST anti virus and found that my system is being infected with Trojan.Agent/Gen-FakeCodec when i try to delete it through my antivirus i was able to delete it but after sometime i am facing the same issue. Any ideas ?

I was also facing similar type of issue where my system used to take lots of time during start up when i asked my friend about it he told me to click on start go to run option and type msconfig, then a new window would get open over there go to start up Tab and unchecked all unwanted process and finally click on restart and after that my problem got solved, hope it works for you too.

My friend's laptop also got infected with Trojan.Agent/Gen-AlerterALG and he try out many solution but none of them worked out for him and at last i told him to totally format your system but before doing this i would suggest you to download and install latest version of AVG antivirus which is capable of removing such kind of Trojan from your system.
