Hi
I've been having a problem with a trojan for a few days now. The main problem is I am not able to connect to internet (although the modem is showing as connected) and a virus/ trojan seems to keep reappearing in the system volume information.
I've run AVG several times and it sometimes finds C:\System Volume Information\_restore{2E982............\RP...\.....exe. So following some instructions I found on another site, I booted into safe made with all hidden files/ folders shown and searched for the files, then deleted and reboot. It seemed to be ok for a while then back to no internet connection.
After stuffing around for ages last night, Ewido found 2 files...
C:\ System Volume Information\.........\A0057263.dll -> Adware.SearchAssistant: Cleaned with backup (quarantined)
C:\ System Volume Information\.........\A0046319.ocx.dll -> Downloader.Istbar: Cleaned with backup (quarantined)
Still no connection but when rebooting this morning, connection was back! Then tried to create restore point and it put me back to square one. So how can I get rid of this bloody nuisance? Also, I've used a combo of Smitrem, Clean-up and Ad Aware SE along the way.
Thanks in advance....
