Trojan.Agent in the registry

[asdps1974]

When I run a scan 1 infections is being picked up all the time Trojan.Agent, even after removing and the log confirming it has been deleted, the next time a scan is run, it is there again.

How can I get rid of it for good?

Here is the log:

I run an update on the 01/12/2009, and as you can see I am still getting the message.

Hi,

Latest is Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.42

Database version: 3291, so this is around 500 database updates behind in your case since you have 2775

Just click the Update tab in malwarebytes. You'll see there will be updates.

Hi there,

Have updated, I now have 1.42, but database version 3289 and when I click for updates I get a message back that I have the latest version!!

[miekiemoes]

Yes, that's the latest version now.

Are you still getting the same detections? Because malwarebytes should be able to clean what it found.

Edited to add... 3289 isn't the latest database version though. Please doublecheck
