| 365551 | 2005-06-20 22:55:00 | I have PCCillin running on Windows XP Pro, and back up my data each day to an external hardrive. Pccillin has found the file Getmirar.A on my external hardrive, in the system volume information (followed by a lot of letters and numbers). It cannot get rid of it (found it 10 times now) and I can't find it manually. The scan result says 'denied access'. How can I make it go away - any help appreciated. Thanks, Heather. :confused: | Fair (7559) | ||
| 365552 | 2005-06-20 23:00:00 | thats in your system restore folder.........you need to delete all restore points to get rid of it..........controlpanel/system/systemrestore tab......then clik the settings button then follow the prompts then restart............NOTE: this WILL delete ALL system restore 'points' | drcspy (146) | ||
| 365553 | 2005-06-20 23:04:00 | I would turn system restore off first. And also do this in safe mode. Then follow the steps here, if u know how to use the registry. labs.paretologic.com This program wont remove it unless u register. Or get the trial of this www.simplysup.com It looks like it can remove it. |

| 365554 | 2005-06-21 00:24:00 | well since the problem exists in the system restore folder only then running some program after deleting the sysetm restore points is kinda 'pointless' lol.......the offending files will be gone simply by turning off system restore and that deletes all files within those folders therefore: problem solved with no further action required.... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 365555 | 2005-06-21 01:10:00 | As it's just snuck onto my external HDD which is only for backups, and I have done a system backup onto it in the past (had the full blown Mirar before, and had to format the C: drive to make it go away) so am assuming (hoping :stare: ) that any techie registry stuff won't be necessary. I have turned off system restore for that drive only, and deleted all previous system back up files as they are non-essential. Hopefully that will do it, I'll let you know tomorrow, as the message seems to pop up every morning. About the system restore, is it a good idea to turn it off for all drives? Thanks for your help Heather |

| 365556 | 2005-06-21 01:27:00 | If its on all hard drives, I would turn system restore off on all hdd's. Get rid of it and turn system restore back on after. |

| 365557 | 2005-06-21 02:27:00 | No, it's only on the external box. So it is better to leave system restore turned on then for all the other drives? | Fair (7559) | ||
| 365558 | 2005-06-21 02:39:00 | Yup cant see why u cant turn the one hdd off, and then turn system restore back on after. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
