I have a virus in many of the restore files...c:\_RESTORE\TEMP\A0567110.0, they are Trojan-gen, adware-gen, and downloader-gen. I have used AVG and Avast and neither of them will let me delete it or put it in the virus chest, how do i get rid of them?

First and foremost, do not trust all answers here on Yahoo! Answers. People who are giving you sites to "remove" your virus may ( not intentionally ) give you a virus. Those programs such as SuperAntiSpyware and Avari are malware in disguise. To keep you system secure, research the programs instead of frantically installing all programs to get rid of the virus. Now here are some things you can use. Once again, if you do not trust me, research them.
* Before starting, restart your computer and tap the F8 key to boot up in safe mode. Try Avast and AVG there. If not then do the following.
1. Go to www.housecall.com. It is a site with the best online antivirus scanner from Trend Micro.
2. Scan it if it removes your problem. great if not continue with these steps.
3. Go to www.mcafee.com and find the free online scanner.
4. Go to www.bitdefender.com and try their scanner.
5. If none of the online scanner get rid of the problem, go to www.free-av.com and install AntiVir which is a great,free, antivirus.
6. At this point, if your virus is still not gone, then you have to resort to heavy artilary with a trained professional. Ill give you the basic things you will need then follow onto www.bleepingcomputer.com and post your HJT log there. Ill show you how to do that.
- www.download.com
- Search HiJack This
- Install it and go to www.bleepingcomputer.com
- Find the appropriate section and post it there.
- A professional will help you out.
If you'd rather not use this method then there is one,ultimate,virus remover that will get rid of all viruses. You know what that is? A system reformat. System reformat wipes everything out of your hard drive. Note that this will make it how you jut bought your computer with no programs of yours installed. To do this, either
A. Use the recovery CD that came with your computer.
B. When you first start up your computer, tap the F10 and follow onscreen instructions.

Your restore files are protected, what's happened is that system restore has backed up the trojan and your system restores are infected. Go to Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore and click on view setting link in the left panel. Turn off system restore. Then run your virus scan.
You can also remove old system restore files by running disk cleanup in the system tools area. Click on the more options tab and select the get rid of system restore spots.

"Those programs such as SuperAntiSpyware and Avast are malware in disguise."
They are not malware.
run your favorite scanner in safe mode like mentioned in the above answers. If you don't have a scanner by now, get superantispyware or spybot search and destroy.
