    AVG did place these items in virus vault. But they keep appearing. Task Manager has been disabled, but not by me. Computer is running slowly. I have DSL, Yahoo Brower & Mail.

    AVG says that this item is in:
    C:\System Volume Information\_restore
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysvx.exe

    I have and run daily on my computer:
    SpyNoMore
    CLEANUP

    Registry Mechanic

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Note that problems in System Restore cannot be removed by virus scanners. You must disable system restore (which deletes all restore points) then you should run your scan. Afterwards (if clean) you would enable system restore again.

    If you are still having problems, continue on to the below instructions.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)

      • Panda Scan
      • HijackThis
