system volume information: worm infection
 |
Greetings,
M computer has windows XP as the operating system, AVG antivirus and Zonealarm firewall. It is only 3 months old.
I keep getting an error message from AVG that a trojan virus has been discovered in a restore file and to do a full scan of the sytem with AVG. However AVG doesnt recognise/identify these trojans in the full scan.
The file is specified as being located in a folder/directory called "system volume information" under the root directory (c:\system volume information) but I cant find this directory through search, the dos prompt or windows explorer so I cant just delete this file. Any ideas or suggestions welcome
Steven

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.
Plz report back what & where it finds anything.
