Comment: i reinstalled windows a couple months ago, and ever since then, i hardly went on my computer. Today i checked my computer, and in the windows/system folder, there is a folder called "catroot". It has a couple other folders in it one is: {127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}
and the other: {F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}. and it has the files: sysmat.cbd and sysmat.cbk. What is this folder? is it a virus? please help me.

Reply: (edit)Brandon, for catroot files it could be a trojan called BACKDOOR.IRC FLOOD. Just about any updated antivirus program would detect/remove it, so I am only guessing, since your antiviirus program did not detect it. What firewall do you use?

Reply: (edit)I'm using Norton Antivirus with fully updated virus definitions by the way, and it didn't detect a thing. I checked the symantec website, and my computer didn't contain any of the values that it stated. And I'm currently using the zone alarm plus 30 day trial. I checked my zone alarm, and it said that it blocked 9 access atempts. most were from updating programs such as live update for norton, but some of the rest was from some guy in sweeden or something. What should i do?
