Help - Trojan horse PSW.Generic11.CIZG?
Hi all,
My AVG Internet Security picked up Trojan Horse PSW.Generic11.CIZG in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ and classified it as a high risk threat.
I've had this laptop since Dec & had problems with it so I completely re installed Windows 8. This happened two days ago & have not added much to my laptop with the exception of virus detectors & Windows updates. Upon the 88 important Windows updates being completed was when the above Trojan was detected.
I checked the properties on the folder in question & it holds over 4GB of data including my Skype, Photoshop Elements, AVG, Microsoft, Samsung etc... Everything seems legit.
So I manually scanned the folder in with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (PRO) in the results came back as no malicious items detected.
I'm unsure on what to do as I am aware PSW Generic11 is meant to be a highly active & dangerous Trojan Horse but as I have said, my Anti-Malware is not detecting this threat.
Could it be AVG has made a mistake & fount something their system thought to be a Trojan Horse which isn't? As this is what I believe. I had a Trojan Horse before, (both on Windows 8, Samsung laptop), & I think it may have been the same threat. When I removed the threat, it deleted something that caused my computer to slow down & restart. I had a message every time I started the laptop saying there's a missing DLL file (can't remember exactly what it was).
Can anyone give me any help? Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I'm dressing up as Woody from Toy Story (with a halloween twist), and I want to make myself look plastic, as if I'm actually Woody. How would I do this? I need a shine to my skin to top the plastic look.
Many thanks.
