This keeps reoccuring on my computer.
Virus name:Win32:Trojan-gen. {UPX!
File name: C:\System Volume Information_restore{7F9A7409-39C2-4150-9417-8AB04420FDDA}\RP43\A0006126.exe
I’ve tried Move/Rename, Delete,Repair, Move to chest and also run Avast on boot up, all without seeming to be able to remove this virus. I keep getting the pop-up warning window several times a day.
Please advise me.
Thanks,
Jerry
Disable system restore, reboot, and the problem is gone. You could have got this information if you would have done a little search on this forum also.
Thanks for the info. I apologize for not searching beforehand. How do I disable “system restore”?
Also; here is my log file from Hijackthis.
Can I safely do a repair on all these items?

I appreciate your quick response to my initial question.
Jerry
[JokeMode]
If you do, your Win will be A LOT safer, because not much will continue running !!! ;D ;D
[/JokeMode]
DON’T FIX everything, because Hijackthis lists both GOOD and BAD items… !!!
→ Please read the links on “VirusRemoval” in Eddy’s or my Signature
To disable System Restore,
System Restore will then be disabled… 
No it will not be disabled that way. You need to reboot after doint so before changes take effect
Use them both.
Bison
After you have gotten rid of the old restore points, Don’t foregt to restart System Restore.
;D
System Restore is on my “disable-on-clean-install” list because it doesn’t really revert your drive to the way it is. If you want something that really does, try GoBack. System Restore always fail on me… >:(
try an IMAGE-Program (Ghost, TrueImage, DriveImage …)
GoBack is slowing things down a lot on many systems. Here is a alternitive:
1] Do a clean install of the OS
2] Install firewall/av software
3] Install all drivers for your devices
4] Install all security patches/updates
5] Make the changes to settings as you wish
6] Install the applications you normally use and configure them
7] Create a image with Ghost
With the image you can have your system back up and running in 10-20 minutes if anything real bad would happen.
As for backup data. Create a backup and from then on a incremental backup on a regular base. Keep always the last backup and the one you made just before that one.
Softwareguy,
System Restore is on my "disable-on-clean-install" list because it doesn't really revert your drive to the way it is. If you want something that really does, try GoBack. System Restore always fail on me...System restore is still better than nothing for those don't have anything else or can't afford anything else. Unless you have a commercial Immaging Program, SystemRestore should not be turned off. IMHO :)
