Right click the "my Computer" icon on your desktop. Click on properties on the menu. click the "System Restore" tab and check the "turn off System Restore" box. Click OK.Where is the system restore?
A message also says the action was interrupted by user (as far as trying to isolate trojan).
Thanks everyone.
Don, when we had windows My Computer was on my desktop. With Vista I couldn't find it. Found something similar but the options weren't exactly the same.
Brian, I had already gone to the Microsoft site and it wouldn't open.
Everyone, in frustration I finally turned off the computer and went to bed. Maybe AVG ran again while I was trying things.
Today no warnings have popped up, so based on your posts, I would like to think it is gone. I'm trying to remember if I recently updated Adobe Flash. We also don't go to strange websites so no other cause comes to mind.
Many thanks again.
Patri, I would not assume that the Trojan Horse is gone. It would be well worth doing a search on your antivirus's home site to determine exactly how to be rid of that specific trojan horse. In many cases, it will require more than what your antivirus program can do and often needs editing of your registry.
I had this happen when I got an upgrade from Embarq (dsl). The free built in virus scanner, from F-Secure, found "UpgradeTool_340ACZ8D0UPG_V01.exe" and called it a virus, even though it was a major part of the upgrade. I'm glad to know there is nothing to worry about.That particular hit has been confirmed as a false positive generated by an update to Adobe Flash. AVG has released an update to their algorithm that no longer calls it a Trojan.
