Hi
When I run a Kaspersky Lab scan on my PC it says that it is infected with the above. However, both Nortons and AVG said they deleted a Trojan from my PC.
I have the run the following several times, AVG, Norton, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Ad-Aware, X-soft, and not a single Trojan comes up.
The odd thing is that Kaspersky Lab says that the Trojan is present in C:\system volume information folder and I can't even see that folder in my C drive.
Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do? I've already done a free trial of SpyBot, so can't do that again.
Thanks.

If you know the path of the infected file then you can use Killbox to delete it.

That's the thing... K Labs says it's in C:\system information folder... but that folder doesn't exist!

Have you checked to see if its a hidden folder or not?

I thought I had all my folders unhidden, but I will doublecheck and let you know the outcome either way. Thanks.

C:\system volume information Thats System Restore, no AV can delete things in "C:\system volume information"
Turn off System Restore, this will delete everything, turn it back on and a new Restore point will be created.
I've already done a free trial of SpyBot, so can't do that again.
SpyBot S&D is free, what trial are you talking about ? also i don't know what "X-soft" is so get rid of it :)

You could also try the free version of Trojan Hunter just for peace of mind.

Oh ok, I will try that then thanks.. I just find it odd that some virus checkers find it and others don't. And yes my files are not hidden.

I mean SpySweeper, sorry. X-soft: one of my IT guys swears by it. Another swears by Microsoft, which I don't find that good.

Just be careful of RIK, he just swears! :p
But, the thing to consider, is there is no single utility for your AV and spyware needs... most times a combination. It just keeps getting harder.
