Right now, I am thinking of "maybe" doing a system restore to August 15,
which is before I got this: Trojan Horse Dropper.Agent.JOC in AVG Anti-Virus.
I have been doing some research and I am not sure if its a "false positve"
and restore the file OR if its an actual virus and delelte the file from the
vault.
If I do a system restore to August 15 (which is pre SP3) do you know
approximately how long would it take?
THANKS. |

Yes, that restore point is available. Actually, I really didn't use my
computer for about two weeks or so. I am a little hesitant to doing a
restore to that date because if takes something like 2 hours or so, then I
feel there is the possibility of something going wrong. Does that make sense?
Right now that "knlwrap.exe" its in the Vault of AVG. Is there a way to
scan it with an online anti virus software while in the Vault? THANKS

What is the actual name of the "infected" file? Why do you think it's a
false positive or want to restore the file? Have you been experiencing
any strange behavior since AVG "cleaned" this file?
The simplest way to re-scan the file, either by an online scanner or
another local a/v application is to just use AVG to restore it. As long
as you don't actually let it *run*, it won't do anything to you just
sitting there.
You should also be able to point an online scanner at it even if it's in
the AVG vault. Different a/v apps deal differently with "quarantining"
infected files. Some put them in zip files and others rename them,
keeping the actual name and path in some database. I don't know where
AVG keeps its "vault". Try looking in "Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\AVG" or something similar.

I did a restore on my other xp system, which did not have sp3 installed yet.
Basically I was trying to see if going back to August 11th would resolve some
of my advertisements showing the "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" instead of
the advertisement being displayed - BUT that is another story.
When I did the restore it renamed and also kept the origiinal files:
mscms.dll to mscms(2).dll, es.dll to es(2).dll, shlwapi.dll to
shlwapi(2).dll, urlmon.dll to urlmon(2).dll and wininet.dll to
wininet(2).dll. So basically I have two files of each with different names.
Do you know why would the files be renamed? Wouldn't there be some confusion
with having for example mscms.dll and mscms(2).dll files? Which one is being
used?
Also, I did a restore to August 11th, this took about 25 minutes. After my
computer was restored I though I would turn off my other computer and
restored the computer again to August 11th BUT this time it took about an
hour and twenty minutes. The computer was sucesfully restored both times. Do
you know why would the second restore take much longer? THANKS

Check the properties of these .dll files. Are the ones with the (2)s
older files? If so, System Restore merely restored those old files.
Since the newer versions of those files all have the original names, the
newly restored older versions of these files get the (2)s added to their
names (since they're in the same folder and you can't have identical
file names in the same foder). I'm sure the older .dlls are safe to
delete.
But if I were you, I would just undo the System Restore(s) (which never
should have been done in the first place) -- especially if you made
significant changes (like installing programs or updates).

Yes, the files are in C:\Windows\system32. I checked all the files and yes
the ones with (2) after them are older files.
So you think I should undo the System Restore? How do I undo Both System

Today - In system restore, I went to "Undo Last Restoration" and the the
system successfully reversed the Restore Operation that I performed at 5:55
yesterday (which was to August 11th). Then I tried to undo the first system
Restore that I did at 5:15 yesterday (which was to August 11th) that was not
an option. The only avaialable Restoration to Undo was the one I performed
today.
So, I tried to Restore my Computer To September 05, 2008 - System
Checkpoint, which was the day before I restored my computer twice to August
11th.
However I got a "Restoration Incomplete" when the computer booted up. It
said that the computer cannot be restored to Friday, September 05, 2008.
That No Changes Have Been Made To Your System. I had the option to Restart
System Restore by Pressing "Home". But I just pressed "OK" - And The
computer seems to be working fine.
Also I noticed that when I go to System Restore, only the month of September
is Available for restoration points (when I try to go back to August - It
does not go back).
Do you know why did I get the "Restoration Incomplete"? Should I try
Restore to September 05, 2008 (Which was the day before I did the two system
restores to August 11th, BUT I got a "Restoration Incomplete" already?
Really Appreciate Your Help.

I did a restore on my other xp system, which did not have sp3 installed
yet.
Basically I was trying to see if going back to August 11th would
resolve some
of my advertisements showing the "The Page Cannot Be Displayed"
instead of
the advertisement being displayed - BUT that is another story.
When I did the restore it renamed and also kept the origiinal files:
mscms.dll to mscms(2).dll, es.dll to es(2).dll, shlwapi.dll to
shlwapi(2).dll, urlmon.dll to urlmon(2).dll and wininet.dll to
wininet(2).dll. So basically I have two files of each with different
names.
Do you know why would the files be renamed? Wouldn't there be some
confusion
with having for example mscms.dll and mscms(2).dll files? Which one is
being
used?
Also, I did a restore to August 11th, this took about 25 minutes.
After my
computer was restored I though I would turn off my other computer and
restored the computer again to August 11th BUT this time it took about
an
hour and twenty minutes. The computer was sucesfully restored both
times. Do
you know why would the second restore take much longer? THANKS

Yes, that restore point is available. Actually, I really didn't use
my
computer for about two weeks or so. I am a little hesitant to
doing a
restore to that date because if takes something like 2 hours or so,
then I
feel there is the possibility of something going wrong. Does that
make sense?
Right now that "knlwrap.exe" its in the Vault of AVG. Is there a
way to
scan it with an online anti virus software while in the Vault?
THANKS

Considering that today is Sept 5....that would be 21 days back.
Your Restore space must be huge....
Have you actually checked to see if that restore point is
available???.
Find an online Virus scanner from a reputable company and let it
scan to see
if it
comes up with the same Trojan...

Right now, I am thinking of "maybe" doing a system restore to
August 15,
which is before I got this: Trojan Horse Dropper.Agent.JOC in
AVG
Anti-Virus.
I have been doing some research and I am not sure if its a
"false positve"
and restore the file OR if its an actual virus and delelte the
file from
the
vault.
If I do a system restore to August 15 (which is pre SP3) do you
know
approximately how long would it take?
THANKS. |
