Every once in a while my computer gives me the following warning:

<img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9582&stc=1>

So I run the suggested program, and it finds nothing. I run Search and Destroy, and that finds nothing. I Google the name of the .exe and that gets no results. I type the file path into explorer and it says there's no such thing.

So how do I make it shut up?

Step 1) Insert baseball bat into screen.

Step 2) Proceed with evil laugh.

Also turn off System Restore or suffer the rath of it when it trys to reback up itself again :D

Right-click My computer > System Restore > TURN IT OFF

If it's been cleaned off the computer except in the current System Restore backup you're about to delete though, then how can it reback itself up again? Unless you get infected again, anyway :p

Endless's method appears to have fixed it; it hasn't come up since doing what he said to do.

$40 for Norton or $0 for the French guy! Yay! :skull3:
