PSW BRISS.A

[Lenny A.]

MY VIRUS DETECTION SYSTEM SAYS I HAVE A VIRUS IN
C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION. IT TOLD ME TO RUN THE AVG
6.0 VIRUS PROGRAM TO REMOVE. I DID IT A NUMBER OF TIMES
BUT I STILL GET THE SAME MESSAGE AND I DO NOT HAVE
SOUND. I CANNOT FIND PSW.BRISS.A IN THE TROJAN VIRUS
LIST SUPPLIED BY MICROSOFT. ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO
GET THIS BUG OUT OF THE SYSTEM?

You'll need to turn-off System Restore, reboot, then turn it back on.
The virus has infected your System Restore folder (system volume information).
