What the hell agent came back(according to Virus total) Avast picked up another tro-gen in System restore, took it to virus total, most say agent. Panda says suspicious file, and Norman says Malware.DQYR.

Malware Bytes has been scanning for two days with no detections. What should I do? and all the previous files in the previous topic are still alerted to me as infected.
I suggest:
Turn off System Restore
Restart Windows
Turn on System Restore
Create a new System Restore point.
How do I turn it off and what do I do with infected files, by the way this seems to be a part of another Infected file Avast found due to the Symbol of them being the exact same(A game from real one arcade I believe) What should I do with the files in the chest
Hi john2009,
That info about disabling and enabling System Restore on various Windows platforms can be found here

Thats it.
Can you post the names and locations of all infected files. You have started several posts and its confusing to know which infections your talking about.
When you say MBAM has been scanning for 2 days,do you mean doing the same scan ?
Files in system restore are not really relevant at this moment
I haven’t had a detailed look at your log but you do have remnants of Symantec/Norton applications (Norton Internet Security Suite) and this can cause conflict with avast.
Have (or did) you another AV installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
A link worth looking at, which is a program removal tool that can remove the remnants of a number of different Norton Programs:
Removing your Norton program using SymNRT
I will take care of Norton, and I will post pathways later.
We’ll be here to help.
I removed norton, And this is the newest virus pathway(which is the cause of the creation of this topic)
C:\System Volume Information_restore{F845E3DB-F751-4BE4-A620-64F2CA1BFB5F}\RP956\A0137783.exe New folder: C:\DOCUME~1****~1\LOCALS~1\Temp_avast4_\unp65821256.tmp\13.exe
**** includes my last name so i didnt type it
So what did you do when these were detected ?
If you moved them to the chest then no problem.
The first is a restore point, created by system restore when a file was deleted or moved from the system folders etc. If there is any doubt about a restore point then it is best out of the system volume information folder as in the future if you could infect your system. If you disabled system restore as suggested, then that too should clear it (I think this measure premature as it gets rid of ALL restore points infected or not).
The second is more strange as it is a detection in the avast4 folder, a temporary folder where avast unpacks file to scan them. After the scan the contents of this folder are cleared by avast, so it shouldn’t have been there to be detected. However if you had remnants of Norton that could have prevented avast from clearing a locked file.
You did however, miss out malware name given on these detections, presumably win32:trojan-gen of the virustotal results, which basically confirms a good detection.
Last thing I need to do is deal with system restore. By the way, this all started when I got that game from realone Arcade I talked about in the previous topic. The game is called Alien stars. I just went ahead and deleted it. The symbol on the desktop changed from the logo to one of those white boxes with the toolbar at the top. However when this new system volume file was detected the logo came back.
By the way it still said Trojan-gen{other}
VT said agent.
