    When my Symantec runs it's quick scan everytime my computer starts up it finds around 46 Infostealer.Gampass viruses or whatever they are. It says I have to reboot my computer to remove them so I have multiple times but it only manages to remove one. I don't want to reboot my computer 46 times and that probably wouldn't even work. I can quarantine them but that also only takes away one.


    They are located in my c:windows/temp folder. Symantec tells me what file it is and I tried to delete it manually but that didn't work. My computer runs fine and there hasn't been any noticeable problems at all besides the fact that symantec detects 40-something of these infostealer.gampass's.

    Gotta love when people sign up and don't read their email and also don't read the required sticky threads posted on every single page of the forum. Examples:

    Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    But note one thing before you run the cleaning procedure, if Symantec is telling you these problems are in System Volume Information then it is just in System Restore and their antivirus documentation tells you that you need to toggle System Restore off and then back on (disable/reenable) to remove things in System Restore.
