I am running Windows XP with Avast. I keep getting a warning message from
Avast saying "A Trojan Horse Was Found!" When I choose the "Delete" button
or "Move to chest", nothin happens, the message keep repeating. I can't seem

File name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\perfc000.dat
Malware Name: Win32:Small-HNV [Trj]
Malware Type: Trojan Horse
VPS version: 000770-2, 09/01/2007

A Google for "perfc000.dat" brings up a lot of links. Based on what I
found, I suggest you run HijackThis and post your log on one of the
following forums (listed in no particular order):

If you went to one of the forums and read their posting FAQ, you would
know this. Basically, you'll post according to the method they outline
and someone will help you.
