Also, you can almost always find out information on a particular virus by googling it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=LZw&q=braviax&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi= | ||

It might be there and it might be not. To be completely sure run multiple scans with different programs under safe mode. No 1 program has a 100% detection ratio, so using multiple programs will help. I recommend antimalware, superantispyware, asquared, and try using a free trial of NOD32 suite. Also post a hijacklog so I can take a look at it if you can. | ||

It's really good and normally find anything on your PC. You then can search the virus he found via google to find the correct way to remove it. | ||
