Hi Mary Lou,
the AV/A-Spyware/A-Trojan/etc. may find it but if System
Restore is on it will be restored on re boot.

This is why if you do a Google search on removing infections
they all say if you have Windows Me or XP you must disable SR.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Janet,

Are you remembering to disable System Restore each time if find a problem?

From an AVG tutorial
When a restore point is created while the system is
infected with a virus, the virus is included along with the other files.
Windows protects those files and will not allow anti-virus programs to
delete or modify them in any way.

Go to Control Panel and open "System". Click the Performance tab, the File
System button, then the Troubleshooting tab. There, choose the option to
"Disable System Restore". Click "OK" on the way out, close Control Panel
 and
restart the computer.

After the computer has restarted, update AVG manually by double
clicking the AVG icon in the System Tray (by the clock).
In the AVG Control Center click the "Update Manager" tab, then
the "Update Now" button. The latest update is today.

Next, right click the AVG icon in the System Tray and select "Run AVG
Anti-Virus". When AVG opens click the "Run Complete Test" button. It will
notify you if it finds anything during the test and afterwards, show the
results of the test. If the system tests clean, proceed as described below.

Now you need to reverse the procedure described above to re-enable
System Restore, then restart the computer. Disabling System Restore
as above clears all previous restore points.
Go to Start Menu / Programs / Accessories /System Tools and
click System Restore. Check to see if Windows created a
restore point (System Checkpoint) after you enabled it.
If not, click the "Back" button and create one manually."

Otherwise System Restore will but it back on the next boot.

Mike
