    Hi, i just did a system reboot because my computer before had some problems. Internet was very slow, couldn't run much, and many popups. Now, whenever i try to use my cd drive to play a computer game like warcraft, the disk is in and it says " please verify that your Frozen Thorne disk in in your CD-ROM drive, then click 'retry'. It is in and then McAfee comes up and says

    Detected: Generic!Artemis (Trojan)
    Quarantined From: C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Local Settings\Temp\SIntfNT.dll

    and even with all the cleanups it isnt working.
    I attached the logs.

    Detected: Generic!Artemis (Trojan)
    Quarantined From: C:\32788R22FWJFW\Tail.com

    That's why we suggest you turn off your AV program when you run Combo. It is a false positive.

    Your logs are clean. But I will comment on this:
    Code:
    Total Physical Memory    512.00 MB    
    Available Physical Memory    82.50 MB
    
    you are very low on system resources and need to put more ram in your syste.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They are useful as backup scanners. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thanks, it seems that since McAfee keeps saying i had the Trojan, i went into my temp folder and shredded all the files in there with the McAfee shredder and restarted my cpu. Now everything is fine THX.
