I'm running Avira antivirus on my relatively new Vaio 520G. For the past few days it keeps warning me about a threat from two Trojan viruses: one is TR/Swysn.tlo and the other is TL/Fraudpak with some other letters. I keep removing it and the program says it is successfully removed, but it shows up again all the time. There's not much on Google about it, and mostly in German, so I don't know how dangerous it is or how to permanently remove it. Anyone have any similar experience?
thanks!

apparently it's related to some "drive by download", and it's some sort of backdoor trojan or rootkit

In which case I would suggest you download and install Spybot.
After you updated it, make sure your virus definitions are current as well (which a/v are you using btw? ... I'd recommend Avira or MSSE).
In any event, go into Safe Mode, and scan the system first with your antivirus, and then with Spybot.
In Safe Mode it should be possible to permanently remove the threat because the thing might have lodged itself into a process that cannot be modified while running ... so Safe mode would be your best bet. -
Dump your temp files internet, ie and ff , might be rsiding there . that might be why avira keeps finding it

I had the same detection last night. Used CCleaner to delete all my temp files so hopefully its gone now. Going to run a virus scan now (doing it now since it was 2am last night when the detection pop-up popped-up) to see if its gone.

no offense but imo spybot sucks. ive seen it pass over things way to many times. if you want the best malware program to scan with its malwarebytes hands down with superantispyware close to it.
and if you really want to be sure get yourself a ultimate boot disc which you can learn how from remove-malware.com if you do not know how he has a really good video teaching how to do this. then you boot from it and do a scan offline with avira or others you can load on there. personally i like dr web sure it a lot and hitman is awesome for quick scans like this its scans with 5 different engines and will pick up almost anything
also as good as people say avira is... it is great at detection but not so much at removal. dr web cure it is awesome at removal and is free to download and use. -
@ zfactor:
You mean remove-malware.com.
Dr. Web and Hitman Pro have great detection/removal capabilties. I'd suggest running complete scans with these 2. Also, as a back-up, run an MBAM scan. -
yep just spelled it wrong..
new Trojan virus
