I need help with a virus problem. My anti-virus software (SystemSuite)
detected yesterday that i had a virus called TROJ DYFUCA.I . It tried to wipe
it out but was only able to get part of it because it stored itself in my
restore files. I did some research and found that this virus was most likely
caused be spyware. I need help with how to either delete the infected Restore
Point Files or find software that will wipe it out for me. I imagine that
actually performing a system restore wont help because i dont know for sure
how many Restore files are infected. Can somone give me instructions or point
my towards some software?
