Virus Removal I recently managed to get a virus on my computer and I'm having trouble removing it. I usually run AVG Free edition and its up to date as far as I'm aware (auto-updates are on and were run manually). This virus was recognized by AVG, its calling it Trojan Horse Agent.aqit. So once AVG finished I told it to send the trojan to its virus vault. Evidently it didn't do that, or can't do that for some reason. I then downloaded Avast! Anti-virus and ran a scan. It also detected it, two versions of said virus but encountered the same problem: it cannot move the file anywhere.
What the virus does it when you open Internet Explorer or Firefox 2 (3 was too slow for me) it also opens some pornographic websites. I personally don't care b/c I use Google Chrome; which has been completely unaffected by this virus, but my mom used IE and she's not too partial to having those sites come up.
I've done searches on most virus scan websites (AVG, McAfee, Symantex, etc) for a utility to remove it but no one has one that will work. I'm fairly computer-literate. I'm running XP Home Ed. with SP2. I also have a dual-boot Ubuntu (most recent version, don't remember the number). Any help in removing this would be wonderful.
