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?

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.

Download this excellent program called Trojan Remover, this is a freeware for one month, but fully updated.
The only program dedicated to trojan's horses runing two specifics scans to detect first if your memory computer is corrupted, then to hunt the worm hidden somewhere into your hard drive...
