Hey guys and gals.
Recently after updating my AVG 2011 Free edition, after a long time, it constantly brings up that a virus called "win32/Gaelicum.A" has attached itself to my .exe's.
The "attacks" started in my "Downloads" folder so i assumed it was because of something I download, which is most probably the cause. But the kicker in this is that only AVG detects this virus. I installed the free trial of ESET, just to see if it detects anything and it came up with nothing. The problem now is that, after I "Heal" these .exe's with AVG they become corrupt?
I did some searches on the net for advice on getting rid of it and I came across another AVG program that specialises in removing of this "win32/Gaelicum.A". i installed it and it found some infected .exe's and "Healed" them to, but these .exe's were the same ones that had been previously infected, which means the virus just re attaches itself.
I'm getting worried now because the virus is spreading out of the Downloads folder and now attacking my desktop folders. It seems like the virus does nothing at all until AVG heals it and takes crucial parts from the .exe out, thus causing it to become corrupt...
It seems like it uses AVG against the computer. I feel like AVG is useless so i rather ask the forum first if anyone else has had this problem and how did they resolve it?
Thanks.
