infected file

Just did a Housecall scan and it found 1 infection: virus-bkdr hackarmy, scan results: not cleanable, file: c:\restore\archive\fs.40.c... I then did a AVG complete scan and it found nothing as did Adaware. What do I have here? WinME. Thanks. moif

 

Did Housecall quarantine the virus? That could be the reason no virus is found in subsequent scans.
And what exactly was the virus name, google doesn't find anything using bkdr hackarmy. I tried several variations and still didn't find any results.

edit: duhhh, tried just hackarmy and came back with results, this site has a removal tool, you might give it a look. http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/b/backdoor_hackarmy_i.asp

 

Pest Patrol has this to say about it. pest patrol and sophos knows about it too. Both sites have instructions for removal.

 

oops, sorry Kap. Didn't mean to step on your toes

 

No problem BillH

 

Disabled system restore and that got rid of it. Thanks again. moif

 

Good going moif. Glad it's done fer
