| 107771 | 2002-12-20 07:53:00 | I somehow recieved a VBS/Pila Virus which copied itself to C:/Restore/Temp/A0292850.cpy unfortunatly i can't get rid of it as AVG can't Quarantine or Heal the file. the Symantec Page is here securityresponse.symantec.com It doesn't seem dangerous,but i would still like to get rid of it. I'd Prefer not to reformat. |

| 107773 | 2002-12-20 08:12:00 | is it safe to turn System restore off permanently cause i don't use it anyway and i'll gain 3 gigs of HDD space back. | Shia (2542) | ||
| 107774 | 2002-12-20 08:14:00 | hmm weird it seems to have gone. | Shia (2542) | ||
| 107775 | 2002-12-20 09:37:00 | If you turned system restore off, it deletes the restore files that still contained the virus. You couldn't delete the virus because those restore files are system files. Now the files have gone, therefore so has the virus? |
