Trojan detected?
Running Malware Bytes came up with this:
Files Infected: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{9F80E638-C05F-4567-B9E0-74F5DCC7C8DE}\RP23\A0004669.exe (Trojan.Agent) - No action taken. Is this the System Restore folder? Should I just let MB "remove selected" or should I delete System Restore points and create a new one? Replies appreciated. Kenny Cargill |

Thanks for the reply, did just that and it came up clean this time, happy
days. Related question System Restore, I use Acronis True Image 10 and keep an image of my C: drive, do I need System Restore at all or should I leave it turned off?

System Restore will quickly resolve minor problems, e.g. when Windows still starts up but misbehaves. TrueImage is best for the major ones, e.g. when Windows no longer starts or when you have a virus infection. |

Kenny Cargill Clear System Restore and run Malwarebytes again and see what it detects. M In addition to comments from M and Pegasus, configure System Restore to monitor only the drive on which Windows is located (usually C) and set it to use about 1 GB of space (the default is 12% of the partition, which can get unnecessarily large). Configure SR from the System Restore tab on the System Properties dialog. Among other benefits(http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html), reducing the space used by SR will make your Acronis images smaller. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |
