Hi --

I'm evaluating NOD32 AV ... just downloaded and installed in two days ago.

The initial scan was clear, and all of a sudden a Threat Alert popped up today. The object is: "C:\System Volume Information\_restore{3B00C17C-D9...\A0016823.exe" and the comment says that the event occurred on a file modified by the application C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe.

OK. I have a choice of Delete or No Action, and I'm not sure what to do because I'm not sure what has been detected.

I'm guessing that there's a problem with a restore point??

What should I do?? (I can't find anything on this by searching the knowledgebase.)

Thanks.

This is in system restore so I would turn off system restore then turn it back on and see if its gone,but first I would scan with superantispyware and Malwarebytes to make sure the system was clean first.Then you could upload the file to virustotal to insure its not a false positive.I would also upload it to ESET to let them take a look and they will be able to tell you what it is.

Excellent ... thanks for the calibration. I'll do that.

Thanks!
