Default AVG Threat in System Volume Info?

So lately AVG has been warning me that a threat is on my external harddrives.

Trojan horse PSW.OnlineGames.FIY
Obfustat.BFN
E:\System Volume Information\_restore{a bunch of numbers}

Worm/Delf.XE
F:\System Volume Information\_restore{a bunch of numbers}

WTF are these and why are they showing up now? Is there anyway I can't delete this ****?

Default Re: AVG Threat in System Volume Info?

Hello MC,

Lets start by disabling the system restore.

If your using Windows XP:

1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
5. Click Apply.
6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes
7. Click OK.


To turn off Windows Vista System Restore:

1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side.
4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up.
5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks.
6. Uncheck the box for all drives you wish to disable system restore on.
7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window.
8. Click OK.


After the system restore has been disabled restart your computer.

Then post a HiJackThis Log, Here is the program >> |MG| Free Download - HijackThis 1.99.1
