General Failure Every day win32:pwsx-gen [trj]
Hi,
Every day AVG pops up a message: Thread secured
We secured dllhost,exe[21184] because it was infected with Win32:PWSX-gen [Trj]
What would you like to do: Scan my PC
But that does not find anything and tomorrow it's there again.
What can I do to get rid of this?

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Please let us know whether you use the free or paid license & the version of it (Open AVG - Menu - About).
Also, share us the screenshot of the notification, after clicking on 'See details' in it, for better clarity.
I use AVG antivirus free.
Mostly the popup comes in the first minutes after login when I start the PC.
The file was moved to quarantaine every time but it is there again.
I do not have any python development environment installed.
