I recently ran two scans after receiving error messages that my system had to be restored and there was a problem with microsoft missing files. The systems was running really slow and was constantly freezing up. The scans were 1)SpySubtract 2)Mcaffee virus scan from comcast Mcaffee Suite. The Spysubtract did not find the virus but Mcafee found 'Artemis!1F0909D8A08A' in file location C:\programfiles\Intermute\Spysubtract\ssengine.dll. Is this the same as the 'Generic!Artemis' virus or is the a file of spysubtract with a similar name that does not have to be removed.
