| 88653 | 2002-10-13 00:42:00 | Last week my AVG virus scanner told me that I had a bugbear virus in my recycle bin and after a lot of messing about, i thought that I had got rid of it. Now, when my PCcillin virus scanner did its check on Friday, it says the following - C:/_Restore/archive/FS1212.CAB(A0225488.CPY)Bugbear.A unable to clean. Action on uncleanable files is to quarantine. I use Windows ME. WHAT SHOULD I DO - PLEASE HELP!!!! |

| 88654 | 2002-10-13 01:07:00 | I'm no ME expert, but I suspect that the file you mention is from the System Restore thing. I'd be inclined to delete. ....... but wait for the ME gurus |

| 88655 | 2002-10-13 01:14:00 | JM's right, the virus is still in your system restore backup files. Visit Symantec and download their bugbear removal tool securityresponse.symantec.com Cheers Neelyar ps don't know how others post an address as a hyperlink, maybe some smart cookie will let me in on the secret |

| 88656 | 2002-10-13 01:39:00 | Neelyar: this is how to , but your way is probably safer ... I will try to set it up: like this -- which did work! (securityresponse.symantec.com) Click on the Formatting Options above the Reply panel to see what you can do. The URL is done by [ u r l = h t t p ://address.of.the.site/ ] and a label [ / u r l ] . (I've put in spaces to stop it working.) Unfortunately, sometimes, usually in longish URLs, there are extra characters inserted "automatically", :-( things like " " or 'bgcolor="fff000000"" stop URLs working). Use the Preview to see the results ... and moving the cursor to the link will display the result in the status line at the bottom of your screen. |

| 88659 | 2002-10-13 01:56:00 | Anyways, how about disabling system restore? it sux on winME, I have it disabled. I s'pose I'll see you @skool 2 morrow, Brendan... | bRaZZiN (2228) | ||
| 88660 | 2002-10-13 01:59:00 | As you are running WindowsME, if the virus is in the System Restore area of windows you cannot delete it without first disabling System Restore. To do this try the following off memory: My Computer (yours, not mine) Single Right Click > Properties > File System > Trouble Shooting > Place a tick in the Disable System Restore. Reboot the computer. Rerun your AVG virus program and this time it should pick up and remove the remaining BugBears. Hope that helps you out. |
