    i was doing a virus scan when this message popped up about a treat.

    File C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\RVRI31NJ\upgrade[1].cab is infected with a variant of Win32/Adware.OneStep application. The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed.


    I backed up my data like it said and then i did another scan and it showed up again but it would only let me choose the option leave. What do i do about this threat? Please Help.

    Since this is a temporary file, it can be removed by hand. You can go into the folder and delete the file.

    I'm going to assume it didn't work, in which case you're probably infected with something at startup re-creating the file.

    i downloaded the malwarebytes and updated it and scanned but it did not find any infected files so idid another scan on nod32 and the infected file showed up again. i also sent the file them.

    thanks for the suggestions so far if you have any more i am still open to them
    and if it comes to my last resort i will take it somwhere to get it fixed.
