Trojan generic 18

I have this and the stuff I found on google said it's really really bad and AVG can't kill it and Malwarebytes is just zipping right past it

So I don't know if I should turn my laptop off or leave it. Either way when my flatmate gets home I'm going to cry and offer him some chicken I cooked for a sandwich before AVG was like "I found a trojan but I can't get to it".

So basically, how bad is it and what does he have to do to kill it and why me? I mean the only thing I can think of it having been downloaded with is Plants vs Zombies because I upgraded to AVG 2011 yesterday and it did a full scan and didn't turn off yesterday, unless it came with CCleaner or Defraggler but I got them from the piriform site

Please tell me you didn't try to get such a cheap game for free?

Don't know what to tell you. I know nothing about it all, it just makes me sad to see that you think you caught something from PvZ.

Sorry I can't be more help.

I got it from Big Fish with my Game Club credits

This had to be on the day of my flatmate's physics lab of course. Otherwise he'd be here and fixing this while I gave him chicken.

He's still not here to fix it. I'm actually considering offering the chicken as a sacrifice to the computer gods. I have to work out which one of the Greco-Roman gods would work with computers so I can sacrifice it to them.

It's ok! It was in Windows Defender's virus vault and AVG thought it was running around wreacking havoc! I'm so glad it's all ok and I didn't have to sacrifice my chicken. But thank you people! You're awesome
