Hey, I had AVG running in the background, and when I opened Firefox a Resident Shield alert popped up notifying me that it has (supposedly) located a few trojan horses. It says that they are located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe". The infection name is Trojan horse Generic2_c.XRW and XRV. Is this a false positive or is this a virus? When I try to remove it it says object is inaccessible.
It's a virus.

Try using another program to remove the viruses, since AVG doesn't seem to help. I recommend Malwarebytes, it's free and relatively lightweight. Also, it's good.
For the love of God.
Whenever AVG gives a result with Generic ANYWHERE in the name, that means it THINKS that file is a virus. Like 99% of the time it isn't.
Also, the file it's pointing to is Java for Christ's sake. If you really think it might be a virus, uninstall Java, delete the Program Files (x86)\Java folder, and then re-install Java.
After you've done that, get avast!
To me that "Object is inaccessible" seems a bit suspicious to me.

Hello MedicmanV2!
This could be a false positive but just to be sure download Microsoft Security Essentials as a double check if nothing comes up then it is a false positive you can download Microsoft Security Essentials here [url]http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/[/url].
