I've just had my residient shield on AVG pop up and tell me my PC has got a virus, located in:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{A0972726-0074-43BE-8D6D-3D71780987D9}\RP85\A0067328.exe

Just ran my anti virus and it won't pick it up

So I'm trying to access the folder manually and scan just the one file but every time I try it tells me access is denied...

Any ideas?

 

looks like you have had a virus then the automatic restore in win xp has backed up the virus

can you remove just that file...in DOS

what antivirus software u running??? is it uptodate???

 

right click my computer goto system resotre tab. disable/turn off system restore

then try again

V. common mate

 

Right click what Jim?

 

the icon on your desktop called MY COMPUTER

 

I've got the options of:

Open
Explore
Search
Manage

Map network drive
Disconnect Network Drive
Send to
Cut
Copy

Create shortcut
Delete
Rename

Properties....

 

What Jimbob meant to say, was right click on my computer, then left click on properties, then left click on System Restore, then turn off system restore

 

click properties

the system restore

then diable it

then do virus checker again

 

Ah makes sense now, its deleted all my restore points, I'll run AVG again

Cheers
