Re: McAfee THEN found these virusses?

So it DIDN'T find the viruses supposedly noted by Sophos? And AVG may well
be doing its job properly?

Interestingly, my computer is now screamingly fast with all that adware
removed. I wonder why the much vaunted Adaware (and Spybot) gave it such a
clean bill of health so often when the problems were so bad that they were
bringing the whole computer down to the level of a 75 MHz? Especially if the
adware was in the system restore cache???

Adware, not virus.

The rest were all in the System Restore cache.
C:\System Volume Information\_restore


No viruses found.
