Hello everyone. This is my first registered post, but I've been reading several forums. You guys are doing an amazing job! I have a question. During a Kaspersky virus scan, it displayed several infections of Hoax.Win32.Renos.vaoz, as well as not-a-virus.Risktool.win32.reboot.f and not-a-virus.downloader.win32.url2file.a on my computer. There is a possibility of other infections as well, but I'm not certain. I try to fun anti-malware programs regularly, but many times these infections fly under the radar. Enclosed is my HiJackTHIS logfile. Any suggestions or fixes that can be made would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

The downloader virus path is C:\System Volume Information\_restore{96672EE2-B079-4D7F-AE21-60AAE2FE0966}\RP103\A0025913.EXE. Kasperksy didn't give me any more info that I can find. Hopefully that is enough to help!
System Volume Information is the location of your computer's Restore Points. Files held within one of these points pose no direct risk to your PC as long as you don't use one of the infected one to restore your computer back to. In order to remove this issue, assuming that this is the only problem that you have:

Disable System Restore,
Reboot your PC,
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point - this will give a clean one should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.


Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.
