    Hi there, i wondered if anyone could help me. basically im a pretty new to this whole computer thing and ive picked up a few problems.my pc keeps freezing and resetting itself. I have avast and ewido running on my pc, ewido keeps finding about the same 13 trojans, (downloader.agent.uj) it quarantines 3 of them found in c:\system volume information and then says error during cleaning for the rest. it looks like its cleaned them then when i go to use the computer again it freezes up etc and i rescan and it finds them again and back to square one! any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers

    Ewido cannot clean in System Restore, as it is part of the Windows protected area. You need to disable System Restore, reboot and then re-enable System Restore. The trojans then will be gone.
