340149 2005-04-01 03:08:00 Get spybot or ad-aware. And do a scan.

Are u using Adaware 1.05 SE?? not the old version of Adaware?

update your virus scanner, then do a full virus scan. if that doesnt work, download AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) which is a really good virus scanner.

340152 2005-04-01 03:15:00 I would have thought NOD would remove it with no trouble.

Anyhow, Spybot scans for and removes dyfica.

What OS are you using? XP and ME have system restore. If the file path to the virus has the words _restore in it, this just means the virus has been included in a restore point and your antivirus can detect it but cannot remove it from this file. It does not indicate an active infection, but if you use System Restore and roll your system back to that date, then you will reinfect your machine. To get rid of the old restore points you just need to disable System Restore, restart the machine and then re-enabled it again - this will purge all you stored restore points. Your computer's Help file will tell you how to do this.
