"trojano 173" detected over and over again

Viruses and worms
1

Hey good people.

I’m using an automaticaly updated version of the latest avast home edition. It practicaly saved my computer and removed all the malwarez I had, but -

there’s one virus that keeps-on getting detected. I delete it every time but it gets detected again. Avast recognizes it as
“win32:trojano-173[trj]”,
located somwhere in the SYSTEM RESTORE folders.

Does anyone know this problem?
What other details do I need to supply, for someone to help me solve this?

Thanx in advance

If you find a virus keeps coming back after you delete it, it’s most probably infected the System Restore folder, the best way to solve this is to disable System Restore, reboot your machine and then enable it again. After all, run a full avast! scanning. System Restore cannot be disabled on Windows 9x.
