I am searching a solution on how to prevent Win-Trojan/FakeAv.580381 from quite a long time. This is an infection that I delete everytime with the help of the Avast antivirus, but it keeps entering my computer, when the system is connected to the internet. I am not able to understand how it gets into my system all the time. I am using Windows Vista operating system and browser is Opera 10. All possible replies and comments on this topic are duly appreciated.

You must have noticed the links on the web pages. They are mostly posted by the normal users. They can be attackers even. So, there is a possibility that they post the links to the infections over there. So, you may be clicking on such links when the system is connected to the internet and this is why you are facing the particular issues. I suggest you to avoid such links to prevent Win-Trojan/FakeAv.580381.
