Hello again, after all the trouble with smitfraud, I downloaded avast 4.0 anti virus, and it alarmed me of having 2 trojan horses!!!

one in this folder


C:\System Volume Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D24DDBF8F}\RP2\A0000119.dll

and the other one in this

C:\qoovox\C\Windows\msmdev.dll.vir

No worries.

Go to C:\qoovox\C\Windows\msmdev.dll.vir and delete the entire folder.
That is the backups from Combofix. Sorry, should have had you delete that when we were done.

================

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D24DDBF8F}\RP2\A0000119.dll

This is your system restore files. We can get rid of this by toggling System Restore.

System Restore
1: Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and select properties.
2: Click on the system restore tab.
3: Check the box that says "Turn off system restore on all drives". Click OK.
4: Click Yes when you are prompted to restart the computer
5: To re-enable System Restore, follow steps 1-3, but in step 3, click to clear the Disable System Restore check box.

Be sure to re-enable system restore (step 5) when done.
===============

Let me know if there are any problems.

Ohh okay, i was worried the old virus came back!!!

Anyway i deleted the folder, but when i clicked the Turn off system restore on all drives".
It did not ask me to restart my computer. it just said this
"you have chosen to turn off system restore. If you continue all existing points will be deleted ..Do you want to turn of system restore?

Yes, you should then be prompted to re-boot. If not then re-boot manually.
Then turn system restore back on.

Absolutely. They are doing no good to have.

Be sure to empty the recycle bin. CCleaner would not be a bad idea to run also.

Gooood morning! I went to sleep and left Avast run, and in the morning (Now) i got a windows message saying windows device timeout-the specifies I/O operation on device/Harddisk2/DR8 was not completed before the time-out..

thats probably because my computer went to sleep mode and the avast hasn't finished scanning??

I'll have to scan again!!
