    Alright, I get this message like 15 times a day, it only happens when i 'idle' my computer, like when i wont touch it for awhile

    [​IMG]

    The gay thing about it, is my Trend Micro can pick it up, but when I do a virus scan, it doenst pick it up, and I tried deleting it, but I cant get into that systems folder, i donno how, I trued 'unhiding' the folders in my c drive, but it didnt work.


    Do I gotta go in through safemode or something? 100 creedits to who ever helps me remove this virus.

    Try another free anti-virus and see if that is picking it up. A good free one is AVG (but that is just an oppinion)

    When you go to access the file, what happens? (any errors or something?)

    It is under one of your system restore so you'd have to disable and then re-enable all your system restore points just to get rid of that. After you do that create a new system restore point so you have one to check back to.

    I guess that would explain why I couldnt restore my computer to any date? =D

    Im using AVG and scanning now, how do I disable and reenable all my restore points?

    you can't find it with search because it's a system restore point.

    That seems to be an external malicious prog that keeps sending those windows. I've had a similiar prob like this, but it used net send type of things to message me, that are integrated to windows.

    So, run of all of your virus scan progs, regcleaner and antispyware shiz. And to be honest, nothing works better than a good old format!

    Note: Ewido only gets rid of Malware and other parasites, ive been using that program for over a year and noticed that it only picks out certain files. its an alright program but i think theres better ones out there. Try kaspersky ive heard good things about that program.

    Under 'Tools' > 'Folder Options' > 'View', ensure that 'Hide proteted operating system files (recommended) is unchecked then look for it.

    If you find it, delete it then re-enable that option. Though clearing your restore points should do a similar thing...
