Please Help

Hi, I'm new here but would really appreciate any help.

I have found out through AVG virus checker that I have two infected files that have not been removed called "trojan horse Dopper.Small.DE". It seems to be in "C:\System Volume Information\_restore...."

If you can, please help me to get rid of this. Thanks!

Hi!

Thank you very much for your help. I ran a full scan with trojan hunter and it said there are three possible trojan files found in the systems files and in temporary internet files. They are a suspicious PECompact-packed file in windows, a suspicious UPX-packed file in windows system and a possible trojan downloader.

I tried to send the files to the e-mail adress but I got an error message saying it could not send viruses, it said something about "mail looks like the Swen virus, to me".

I have deleted the temporary internet file. Please advise me on what to do next.

I downloaded a fix for the Swen virus from Symantec, and ran it, and it could not find any virus on my computer. However I still get the same error message when I try to send the email.
Help!

The location of the trojan that you mentioned, is actually in a system restore point. A restore point allows you to rollback your system to a previous point in time. You are only at risk if you restore to that restore point. If you want to remove the trojan, you should remove the restore point. Please post back and we can give you further instructions.

thanks,

I have no idea what I'm doing, detailed advice please?

When I downloaded the patch for the Swen virus it had me disable the system restore so I no longer get the warning about the virus but the trojan hunter still shows the same files.
