    I keep getting a report of a virus when when I use Microsoft Antivirus. This is what was detected (RIVARTS.A) and keeps coming back. Can you help!

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please do not post any logs inline! And before attach a HijackThis log you must follow standard cleaning procedures in the instructions below. HijackThis logs by themselves are not always that useful. Nor do they provide comprehensive information about your PCs malware status. In fact your log is clean other than a few minor things that we recommend removing (like Party Poker and similar)

    It would also be much more useful if you attached the log for what is being found.
    And did you mean Microsoft Antispyware?????


    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)
      • Bitdefender
      • Panda Scan
      • HijackThis
