    My Kaspersky found two detected: "Trojan program Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Delf.dmk"

    File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{13B56141-83DE-40BD-A241-AEF52E04CDCC}\RP1557\A0185758.DLL//ASPack


    File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{13B56141-83DE-40BD-A241-AEF52E04CDCC}\RP1558\A0185763.DLL//ASPack


    I cannot find anything on their page or any page on the internet stating this was actually malware. sometimes it has found files that are not malware but an important part of some programs. how do i know whether or not these are malware or just parts of a program??

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    The items being found are in System Restore and the only way they can be removed is by disabling System Restore and then rebooting and enabling Sytem Restore (we call this toggling System Restore). See this Disable And Enable System Restore


    You may want to consider running the below procedure if you really want to know if your system is clean.

    it says "aspack" so isn't this maybe a compressed file of something for my computer? or a malware?

    You cannot tell exactly what they are since they are system restore created file names. You would have to go into the System Restore folders yourself and look at the files (possibly in binary form) to figure out what they are.
