Stubby B trojen virus

[orangepeel]

Until I sort out a virus check program, I have the free AVG anti-virus system. It works quite well. However, I got a pop-up stating a virus had been found in C:\ System Volume Information\,,,,,,, and to run AVG to clear - this i have done twice and each time AVG results state no viruses found. I have had the pop-up again - does anyone have any advice on how to remove the virus. Many thanks.

AVG is a very good free programme but for absolute security Norton is better even though you have to pay for it. However Norton still provide a free service on how to deal with various viruses (or should it be viri). Anyway, checking Norton`s library, no mention is made of this `virus'. It`s possible that it is not a virus but simply spyware in which case download Adaware from Lavasoft and try to trace it with that.

thankyou, I will certainly have a look at Adaware - I am certainly learning a lot from this service and invaluable advice from helpful members.
