    I used Ad-Ware. I had optimize.exe but deleted the file, I ran test to see if any registry parts need to be fixed.

    Would I be safer from this rubbish if I used Opera or a browser other than IE?

    Hey again.

    When I restarted, Ad-Ware did a check and seemed to find another 40 items or so, so I quarantined them.

    Here is my new log, is it clean now?

    Hi Kris,

    Your log is clean now.
    Opera would be safer, yes, but you can make IE a lot safer too: http://www.computercops.biz/postt7736.html

    see if you can find some help here

    thx

    Thanks for that, but it was no help :(

    I read your link and followed Pieter_Arntz to the money tree info. It had this:

    None of those files are on my computer.

    Then I followed his next link a few posts below and it took me to the Ad-ware / Hackthis instruction page which i've already done, as you can see above. But even if I do an Ad-ware search again, it doesn't find it.

    How can I get into that "System Volume Information" directory to delete the file listed in the Resident Shield warning?

    Kris,

    Two posts - this is the first ;)

    Start your system in the Safe Mode and perform a new Antivirus scan. After doing so, don''t reboot for the moment.

    regards.

    Disable System Restore to prevent all coming back next boot. You can enable System Restore if wanted after all's clean ;)

    I went into Safe Mode... AVG anti-virus would not run in Safe Mode.

    I went to My Computer to turn System Restore off and found this:

    http://home.iprimus.com.au/klparker/mycomp.JPG


    No AVG shield popup yet, so maybe deleting it did get rid of it.

    Kris,

    You've deleted the relevant Restore Point from DOS, and with that the nastie - good job ;)

    In case you feel like a double check, you could perform a free online scan as mentioned over on the "free services" page on www.wilders.org.

    regards.

    When I woke up this morning, that AVG shield had another warning... Another A0009691.exe file in the System Volume Information directory.

    So right now i'm running the Trend Micro scan, then going to download a trial anti-virus program to run in safe mode(since my AVG doesnt run in Safe Mode). HOPEFULLY that will get rid of it all.

    Any idea how to turn restore off if the option is disabled by group policies?
    I looked up group policies inthe help file and changed a couple of things relating to System Restore, but I saw no effect, although I didn't reboot.

    It's just because your Restore folder is protected, and Antivirus software is unable to modify its contents.
    You'll need to flush that folder:

    1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    2. Click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Check Turn off System Restore.
    5. Click Apply, and then click OK.
    6. Restart the computer.

    All data, including your virus, will be purged from the restore folder.

    7. Run your antivirus once more.

    After rebooting, re-enable System Restore.


    Good luck,

    Thanks for the reply Tony, but if you look at the picture a few posts up, "Turn off System Restore" checkbox is diabled, so I can't turn it off :(

    Kris Guest

    I went into Group Policy and enabled System Restore Off, so it is set off and even removed for the My Computer properties... I'll restart it a few times then put it back to how it was. Hopefully it will be fixed now...

    I somehow missed the part about the System Restore checkbox being greyed out; sorry about that...

    Good to hear you got it fixed, though. :)
