I dont know how my computer got infected with the GS Supporter 1.8 virus. When I was scanning my pc with the AVG antivirus then it says that it is in my disc C or something. I went to the path and found the file but I am not able to remove it. Even after removing the virus and going back to that folder, I can still find the virus and also the antivirus still kept opening that report to me and showed me the virus. Can anyone tell me how do I remove this virus from my pc.
