Thanks for the speedy reply
My computer was feeling sluggish so i decided to reformat.
When i reformatted, i started reinstalling my programs and i noticed AVG ( free version ) picked up a trojan horse hiloti.cg located system32/svchost.exe now avg classed this as a high threat ranked #702 so i felt i had to do somthing about it.
I ran a few scans noticed it was healed by avg then reformatted again , thinking this was the safest thing to do.
Second reformat and a scan picked up a rootkit hidden driver located system32/dump_dumpata.sys not sure if this is the remnant of what i just removed. Online this also is suggestes as somthing i dont want on my pc so here i am.
id appreciate if anyone had any advice on getting rid of this or if it was even just a false positive from a more recent avg update? or have i managed to clear the worst of it?
Currently tried
E set online scanner - No detections
AVG anti rootkit - No detections
Malware bytes antiroot - No detections
Windows defender - No detections
Current installed programs
Windows 7 home premium
google chrome
Avg antivirus free version - 2015.0.6086
geforce experience and related nvidea graphics driver
After yesterday i decided to turn my pc off, pull out the internet cable and wait til i got home to post this question up, rescan today is showing nothing ...i find it strange that i couldnt seem to get rid off it yesterday after all those "heals" , restarts and reformats
as i mentioned before id be grateful if anyone had any other suggestions

Hi Craig,
I do understand your concern. Not to worry, please update your product and scan the system regularly. If AVG detect you malicious thing, I kindly request you to remove it.I suggest you to purchase full version to protect your system even more better that free version.
Thank you.
Thanks for the speedy reply
