Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}

Hello,

Avas has detected the following on my daughter’s laptop:
FILE NAME: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{56A34B66-C852-4408-B10C
MALWARE NAME: Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}
MALWARE TYPE: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 0710-4, 06/02/2007
The recommended action: Move to chest (so I did!!) and the scan is still running since 12:30pm (it is now 5:10pm).

Can anyone advise on the next course of action to remove this virus completely from the hard drive (Windows XP Professional).

Thank you (sorry if I have put this in the wrong topic - there are so many).

 

Thank you for your prompt reply . I will try this as soon as this scan is over.

 

UPDATE:

1) After switching off system restore and restart, AVAS did not detect any infected files as you predicted thumb so I swithced on the system restore and restarted my system again.

2) Should I do anymore cleaning? Should I run SpyBot?

3) The suspect file is still in the chest (not sure how to submit it from there) but there is a longer list (incl. lots of other suspect files) within the WARNING drawer under AVAS LOG VIEWER (and that one I have managed to export into a note pad doc. (*.txt).

4) Should I go for another AntiVirus software (preferably a free one as we have 2 laptops and one pc).

Thank you again Ron!!!

 

Yes sorry for the spelling!!! I have used AVAST 4.7 for the last 2 years and it's been pretty reliable.

Thank you again for the great advice!!! I never thought all would have been resolved today!!

 

Yes I am reading (but very slowly...)

I scan the laptop again today and no virus was found. I now have another problem:

"about:blank", I think it is another malware problem..

I thought I might need a full CLEANING but I am still looking around there are so many stickies and the steps are so long (although I am prepared to go through them all if it would help but I always worry about the WARNING that comes with).

Thanks.
