Hi There
I have been getting notification of virus’s lately. I am running the free version of AVG which scans daily. It tells me I have a virus. AVG syas it healed the files and moved the virus to vault. But when I rescan, the message I get says again “May be infected by unknown virus Exploit.WMF”. This just goes on in an endless loop of me scanning – AVG says it heals, then I rescan and it’s still thre. The virus is in my temporary internet files, in a file called eTRIc0hrVXI0m98QUJoYWg2MEFBQUQ2[1].wmf whethet or not that means anything? Another thing, and I don’t know if it’s related, but when I run adaware it finds 24 infected files, but it just stops running. It parks itself at the same place each time and stops responding. My system also just crashes completely and the computer goes blank and then reboots. I have ‘hijack this’ installed and could provide a file if wanted. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Tim

Have you emptied the temp files, turned system restore off, restarted the computer, entered the safe mode and selected admin and ran AVG from the safe mode?

Thx capt and Ham
I took the steps you suggested capt and came up with a clean scan! Adaware ran OK and also came up clean. Hopefully this resolves the 'spontaneous reboot' problem. Ham unfortunately I'm having trouble with trend micros online scan kernel's. I'll get back to you as I try to resolve that. Many thx again capt.
