my computer has been running and connected to irc fine for over a month now, with only the occasional 'software caused connection abort' which didnt bother me too much. but today, i lost connection to quakenet (coldfront still connected fine) tried to reconnect and i got the msg:

You are infected with a trojan, please clean your PC
[12:13] Closing Link: Dist by underworld1.no.quakenet.org (G-lined)

so, i did a AVG scan and a trend micro housecall scan. AVG is still running atm, and trend micro detected something to do with nHTMLn_2.93.dll so i deleted that and i still cant connect, it says im infected with a torjan still which im not, even other computers on my home network get that msg.

does any1 know what i can do to get back on quakenet? its rather important that i get back on.

EDIT: avg has now finished my c: and hasnt detected anything. so im guessing its not a trojan that i have. im not 100% sure though if its still giving me this error msg because it still thinks there is a problem, of if its giving me the trojan msg simply because the temp g-line is still in effect from the first time i tried to connect and got the msg.

EDIT2: reinstalled the latest version of mIRC, also going to try download the latest windows updates that i havnt got yet, if that doesnt work then im out of ideas on how to fix this damn trojan error msg.

great, things only get worse. after i did a windows update and restarted my pc im not getting errors saying:

avgw.exe - unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

and not only avg but several other programs, like my logitek mouse software, also get the same error on windows startup now.
