How to Remove a Trojan:Win32/Agentbypass Gen
Trojan horse programs often mask themselves as a harmless program, hence the name. When it is downloaded, though, a Trojan quickly creates problems for your computer--problems such as immense amounts of pop-up ads, downloading other malicious software into your system and taking control of different Windows components. Trojan:Win32/AgentByPass.gen is an example of a "backdoor" Trojan that attaches itself to the Explorer.exe process so it can run automatically. Microsoft's a free anti-virus tool called Microsoft Security Essentials can find and eliminate this program.
