Hello;
New to the forum and need a question or two answered please.
I have had to reload my system using Acronis’ backup software about three
times now, leading me to think I have a Trojan or worm. Its symptoms were
merely that all of the sudden when you rebooted, it would stick in the Windows system
load screen for a long time, then reboot to simply do the same thing all over.
After three times of reloading the system (which fixes the problem)
due to not being able to find the trouble, I decided to load Avira AntiVirus
onto the system and check. Sure enough it found the two problems right
off the bat, both located in C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/AVAST4. It found both
SPR/PortScan.C and TR/CRYPT.XPACK.Gen Trojan. The SPR/PortScan.C re-ocurrs
more than the Trojan listing. Why does this appear within the C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/AVAST4 folder
and not somewhere else in the system?
Thanks for any help and PLEASE do respond.
