AVG scans show a trojan horse dialer in my c\restore\temp files. Is it safe there? Will it be eventually flushed out?.....AVG DID catch this when I was surfing and the warning window did come up. I answered that I did not want to continue with that page. I had a similar problem once before, and eventually the dialer in c\restore\temp was gone..Any thoughts? The Newguy

To delete your restore files: Right click "My Computer",click "Properties", "Performance", "FileSystem", "Troubleshooting", tick "Disable System Restore". Click "apply", "ok", reboot. This will erase all your restore points. After doing this repeat the above steps but "un-tick" Disable System Restore", click "apply", "ok", and reboot again. Make sure that a new restore point is made after your computer is clean. You may have to do it manually.
