Win32 Swen problem

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I had posted a week or so ago, asking for help with a Win32 Swen worm that Avast! found. I was told to post a screen print, well, here it is. The problem I have is that Avast! cannot delete or repair the files because they are password protected. I am using Windows Me operating system on a Compaq computer.

Hi,

disable SYSTEM RESTORE & reboot, and they will be gone:

afterwards use the avast Cleaner (see main page) and then do a thorugh scan with uptodate avast

iF then All is Clean, reenable system restore

:wink:

Thank you very much for the help. I did as you said above, and everything seems to be normal once again. The last scan I did with Avast! found nothing. I’ll go back and re-enable the system restore again now that it seems to be clean from the worm.

Thanks again,

Scott
