Hi there. I use AVG Internet Security program to protect my computer and it has been working good. But yesterday AVG started telling me that I have a virus called MalSign.Generic.6BB on my computer. I tried to remove it but it seems AVG can’t help at all. It tells me that the threat has been removed but after 30 minutes or so it keeps notifying me that the virus has been detected again and again. I’m frustrating now. Is there any other way to get rid of this virus without reinstalling Windows? I don’t want to lose any files. Thanks.

It sneaks into your computer from spam e-mail, sponsored links from malicious websites or other dubious shared files. The virus injects its own files and registry entries into your computer, and changes the start-up items immediately once installed so that it can be activated automatically each time you boot up your computers. AVG keeps alerting you that MalSign.Generic.6BB is detected but when you take action to remove it, the virus comes back after a few minutes. When this virus is running on the target PC, the system performance will be reduced severely. It runs slower and slower. Sometimes, it can even get stuck.
