Thanks for the feedback, I am not surprised Avast4 found malware files, the hackers call the junk what they want and it is hard to have them all in the database. I would like the names of those files if you would:

1) Open Avast 4.8 from the system tray

2) Click the scroll down menu upper left corner

3) Click Virus Chest

3) since it is only two, post the complete information.

Thanks

How long since you ran maintenance on your hard drive? Scan Disk and Defrag? If the disk gets in bad shape the computer will not run as good and it takes forever to run scans. Here is some maintenance information:

So the two infected files are labeled:

Win32:Monder-IF[trj]

Here's the complete info:

A0000005.DLL Original location: C:\ System Volume Information\_restore{129201FA-B0AC-49B3-96B2-DEB8B91E727B}\RP1


cbXPheff.dll oRIGINAL LOCATION: C:\WINDOWS\System 32


Both have the virus labeled: Win32:Monder-IF[trj]


I am not sure when and if we've ever run maintenance on this hard drive...I will read all those links and follow instructions.

Thanks!

If the instructions were followed in the order I posted them, this:
Clean the System Restore files like this: <<< would have cleaned System Restore, this:
A0000005.DLL Original location: C:\ System Volume Information\_restore <<< is a System Restore file.

While don't you complete these instructions again:

Clean the System Restore files like this:

Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot

Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Then scan again with Avast4, let me know if you have any other issues.

Thanks...Phil

Ok, I think everything looks good now. Again, many thanks for your help and patience!

All the best to you!
