I posted this on another thread last night -as it was linked to msn, but now im not sure if that is the only problem so i am putting it in its own post. I have just ran another scan with avast and it has detected win32 trogan-gen in C:System Volume Information\restore…loads of numbers
'Well I must have this on my computer because my son said i had sent him a link that his brother had sent earlier in the day from the same laptop - I knew something must be wrong because it all flashed and then froze i couldnt do anything on windows live. So i immediately turned msn off before i infected all those on line and did some scans.
I ran adaware and it only found some cookies - I then ran avast- i didnt get past the memory test as it said it was infected - so i did a boot scan and removed JS:Pdfka-mv to chest. I ran an avast scan and after a while again it said the memory was infected and so the process started again - It detected 2 win32 trojans. Again i have moved to chest and emptied all temp files etc. i have also updated all software etc with Secunia. I have used msn tonight and not had the problem again.
My son said he had clicked on a link that a friend had sent as he quite often sends things and it was an image shack link so he thought it was safe - obviously not. If my contacts have tried to open the link i sent even if it wouldnt open will they be infected?
