Why do you want to turn of the System Restore cache ?

Is Norman AV finding latent copies of the worm in the System Restore cache and that is why
you have come to the conclusion that "...it keeps coming back" ?

Thr r these pop-ups whenever I turn on my system and sometimes even during a
session, indicating NAV has found this worm. H/w, when I use NAV to do a full
scan, nothing was found.

I hav encountered similar problems (also some w32 stuff) previously on Win
XP and someone advised me to switch off sys restore and do all th necessary
scan, i.e. NAV and Lavasoft Ad-Aware. It worked!

Anyway, I am not sure whether it is found in th sys restore but it was
detected by NAV in my temp files. Can u help? Tks!

It is NOT suggested to turn off the System Restore cache unless you know the system is
clean and you want to purge the cache of any malware that may be in the cache.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

English:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose Unzip
Choose Close

Execute C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.
