I just finished scanning my system and it said that I had a trojan.
C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP: Trojan.URLspoof.gen.2 FOUND
How do I get rid of this trojan? Is the only option a reformat/reinstall of windows? I thought ClamWin was able to scan and remove viruses and trojans and etc. Was I wrong?
[EDIT] Forgot to add the whole detail of the scan result.

if clamwin did not find this trojan elsewhere after you scanned the whole drive(s), then there is no reason to be concerned. Most likely it was a false positive in a memory dump file (file created after windows crashed). Simply remove C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP file and empty your recycle bin. Then do a full scan just to be sure.
