New quarantine appearance - Trojan.FakeAV.NMi
Completion of full scan on this machine usually produces list of "unthreatening" items - I read quickly, ignore and monthly empty quarantine after a glance.
Windows XP Home, V.2002, SvPk 3 updated. Spybot,SuperAntiSpyware, Vipre 2013 Anti-virus all run regularly.
TROJAN.FakeAV.NMI appeared 2 days ago - I don't think it should even have gotten into quarantine as I have settings I thought
blocked and deleted such things. Obviously I don't.
It is quarantined. Should I delete it? If it appears again what should I do. Any advice I'm not smart enuf to ask for?
CORRECTION: SHOULD HAVE READ: TROJAN.FakeAV.NMl (not i)

If reader cannot tell, I am utterly confused with this SpyBot forum process. What I do know is"
Spybot AV identified a virus clearly today as follows: (HERE ARE THE LINE ITEMS ON THE AV SCAN REPORT:
Trojan.FakeAV.NMI
Executable
C:\System Volume Info\_restore{BEE3A94B-B755-457B -A573-F68398179D8}\RP67w\A0144573.exe
This info is in my Quarantine file; I have not clicked on the "fix" function.
I haven't the slightest idea how to handle this - and I have read everything I can from SpyBot.
Do I delete? Is there another step first?
I will not use this PC until this is dealt with.
Thank you for assistance.
waiting for "detective"- Mentioned in tashi response of August 8
I am waiting for "detective" to follow up tashi response. Trojan sits near end of every full
scan - I "fix" the rest and am leaving it alone until advised.
I guess the best answer to tashi on computer running is, in general, it is. Not as fast as I've had it run before, and
I keep zip on it - oddly erratic on archiving of Google emails but Google keeps changing things that don't need changing but may need fixing when they are thru - so I don't blame that on a Trojan. this machine is scanned twice a day, once AV/AM, once pure Malware with spot checks to clear cookies and garbage out using CCleaner - for the amount of work I put into it, it should run faster - the start-up menu is bare-bones, etc. I use no social networks, no video, few photos, mostly mail and general search and it still seems to
be slow - lots of trouble with MS UPdate but that seems to be nothing unusual and their Mr. Fixit is useless.
I would just like to know I've kept it secure so it'll run - thank you.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN "MOVED" WHEN I ENTERED MY THREAD -? WHERE AND WHY? I could not find anything in the FAQ specific enough to make that understandable.

When something is in quarantine it is inactive. How is the computer running in general, any issues?
Best regards.
Continued unsolved TROJAN.FAKEAV.NMI removal issue
My thread on this topic was moved, presumably by Tashi, who answered most of my questions, but said a "detective" or some such would
assist with malware issues and, I presume, how I remove this. It sits in quarantine and I know you'll say it can do no harm - but why keep it there and
run risk I delete it when I shouldn't - I'm no expert but I don't believe you'd tell me to keep it there for the life of this machine (or my life).
I ask other questions but this is the most concerning one. I don't know where my thread is now - I"m sure I didn't need to post new thread but
I could find nothing as far as I went in FAQ that told me how to find a thread that had been moved. thank you
Is there anyway I can get email notice when threads are responded to ? I thought there was but again didn't have an hour find out how and where.\
I did the "subscribe to thread" and I did not check box to confine response to Forum, but I received no notice.
