    will avg say this is a virus?

    i did a full reformat sunday and windows update installed Windows blaster worm removal tool (kb833330) and right after i installed avg it went nuts and told me i had nachi b.1 and it went off for nachi a this morning i ran several other virus scans last night and they said i was clean

    it is always in restore or another windows folder

    just had a look at the MSKB i suggest you read this yourself too many variables to list
    It does however say that this tool only runs once and then remains dormant you can check a log file to see wether it actually found the blaster worm or not but i would suggest removal from add remove programs turning off your system restore as Xflat suggested and running a full scan
    Anyway have a read Here
