    Greetings.I accidently downloaded a trojan/worm?called JS.Cassandra.The cleaner removed it from my system yet AVG anti-virus still detects it in D:\_RESTORE\TEMP\A0021934.CPY .I cannot delete or remove this file as it is sys restore(of course!).Cannot use sys restore or undo sys restore.Do I need to revert to WIN 98 SE and reinstall ME or F-disc?Something less radical hopefully.Using WIN ME.Stupid me firewall was disabled.AVG detected it immedeately tho. :) Thanks you guys are the best if anyone can do it you can.I havent been beaten by a BUG YET!!!Also I keep deleting a file in Windows called TEMP,it keeps coming back!

    Hi Mua-Kell,

    Welcome to Wilders!!!

    Have you tried this:

    To clean out your System Restore, do the following:

    Turn OFF System Restore.
    1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    2. Click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Check the box beside "Turn off System Restore".
    5. Click Apply, and then click OK.
    6. Restart the computer. (You must restart your computer to clear the old Restore Points)

    To Turn System Restore back ON.
    1. Follow the above Steps 1 to 3
    2. UNcheck the box beside "Turn off System Restore".
    3. Click Apply, and then click OK.
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Then CREATE a new restore point.

    HTH....

    Regards,
    Kent

    Please stick to Pufss advice - that way we are most probably able to help you out not only for now, but on the long term as well ;).

    regards.

    Nice to see and hear that the scan caught it. Do post the hijacklog as adviced as that would make experts get rid off any evil left off(if any).

    Good day :)

    CLEAN! Thanks people.It was nasty but nowhere near as bad as condusive flexpacks,wild tangent or N-case.The moral of the story is never ever attempt to view photos of Jeri Ryan in a bikini while your firewall is disabled! :D
