downloader virus/tojan horse

Guest

I use AVG virus checker and it tells me I have a trojan horse called downloader C.comQ - I think that was typed from memory. However when I run AVG it is not finding anything

The message keeps coming up and I see that I cannot restore to an earlier point. Virus is located in a restore file according to message

Can any one help

Thanks

The virus has apparently infected your System Restore folder.
You'll need to turn-off System Restore, reboot, then turn it back on.
One cannot delete an individual Restore Point....it's all or nothing.
