Hey,
thanks a lot for this post and the software too. Before running this tool, I had scanned with AVG antivirus, it showed me trojan but could not remove it….however, when I ran this OTM and rebooted the system, I again ran the AVG and this time the trojan had vanished.
Thanks to you a millions times.
