Computer Infected:

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP3, with DSL connection. I have
Windows Firewall, AVG, Spyware Blaster and Hive Cleanup. Recently it
became infected with a Trojan Horse virus:

Trojan horse Downloader.Generic8.TVN

It was under Local Settings\Temp Internet Files
Content.IE5\PWT3Az83\getfile-081220-aps(1).gif


I was able to delete it successfully but as I understand, it still
resides in my computer on another program. In addition to this, with
the aid of remote assistance I was told that my MFT was corrupted. My
question is this, is there some way of tracking down the host program
with the virus and deleting it? Also is there a way that I can tell
for myself if my MFT is actually corupted? If not, what are your
recommendations?


Thanks,

Robert
