Suddenly AGP has started detecting threats in the C:\_Restore\Temp directory. Although AGP indicates that it has cleaned the files they remain infected only minutes after the initial scan. The names AGP assignes to these are:
Trojan horse Proxy.RJD (two of these)
and Trojan horse downloader.Small.AGP.
Do you think these are real threats?
Is there anyway to delete the three files in this directory? Or, should I just leave them alone. It appears that these three files are being rebuilt each day as they have today's date.
Thanks

Hi oldslowpoke:
Dou you mean AVG antivirus?

Disable and re-enable System Restore. Be warned that all restore points will be lost. Run your scan again.

The trojans are probably getting re-installed from there. I would also run seperate trojan scans too.

In answer to one of your questions, Yes trojans are a real threat.

Thanks Randy and yes, I did mean AVG antivirus.
I will use your suggestion immediately.
I am curious, are these two Trojans new or does AVG antivirus name them differently than Norton or McAfee?

Randy, as the old idiom goes, you hit the nail on the head!
Your suggestion worked and I am now Trojan Horse free. System Restore has been re-enabled
and subsequent AVG antivirus scans find nothing.
Thanks a million.

Glad I could help. Thanks for posting back;
