Additional information:

This is what a nod32 in-depth scan found as infected, the only options were to delete them or to leave them alone, i chose to leave them alone as some of them seem necessary for program operations.

C:\Program Files\ANI\ANIWZCS2 Service\wzcsldr2.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\SharedCOM\roxwatchtray10.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{86533738-1EB6-4D28-894D-83562B52DE1C}\RP164\A0016861.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

E:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\groovemonitor.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

E:\Program Files\Roxio\CinePlayer\dmxlauncher.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

Oops sorry i forgot to clean up your system restore, yes these might be infected, hope you will not get this pop up after this step.


Your system restore points are infected, remove them and create a new restore point.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore:

Now you should Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools can not access it to delete these bad files which sometimes can reinfect your system. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

(You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

1. Turn off System Restore:
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore:
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

System Restore will now be active again.
