hello, diagnosing a virus/ malware problem for a friend.
i currently have him doing a full system scan, and if it shows any bad programs we will remove them. but this program hasn't been detected by AVG very well!
The program is named 'animal-ware doctor'. strange name :S
The program pops up, with no way to close it but going into Task manager and force closing it from process manager.
help would be very appreciated.
