Turn off system restore until you get rid of the trojan. When you can scan
your system and all is clean, then turn it back on.

Picked up a nasty when opening a web site the other day and can't seem
to
shake it. Am using updated CA anti-virus but it allowed the infection
even
though it recognizes it but can't rid my system of it. I routinely clean
out
history files and caches. I keep deleting files but it keeps recreating
them. It keeps re-establishing itself in the "start" menu in
run/msconfig.
I
have to "end process" of an unusual numbered process in task manager
every
time I re-boot. The files that it keeps replicating are in "C/Windows"
and
was "norton exe" but has now become "winform exe". Have tried Kapersky,
Panda and CA on-line scanners but no luck. Below are the CA prompts I
keep
getting. Any ideas? Tom G.

My system restore has been turned off for months before picking up this
infection. AV can't clean infection. Just tonight my homepage has turned
Chinese. Updates for AdAware have been disabled since infection.
Re-installation doesn't help. No response to my hijack this posting.
Considering re-formatt.
