Trojan Horse & Michael Solomon

[Mark]

First off, Mike if you are reading this, Thanks. I
emailed you last week about an issue about IE6, so far so
good. Anyway, I am using AVG for virus scan and it found
a ton of bad things got rid of most of it, the only thing
I have left is a trojan horse and it is in the
C:\WINDOWS\sysxw\sysxw32.dll. Anyway to get rid of it and
get my system back to normal? TIA, Mark

This is what appears in a window from AVG when I boot up
the puter. It then says to run a scan to get rid of it,
which I do and then it says to put it in the "virus
vault", which I do. Anyway of getting rid of it for good?!
