Trojan-GameThief removal help
« on: August 15, 2009, 12:44:07 PM »
Several months ago I had gotten a similar infection on my computer and the guys at Bleepingcomputer.com helped, but they don't seem to be around anymore.  They had recommended SuperAntispyware and Malware Bytes.  I ran the Super Antispyware in Safe Mode and the logs are attached.

My problem is that I am still receiving a popup of:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{63EFC063-C398-4284-88BB-D9A39A12ED8}\RP723\A0085341.exe
Infection: Trojan-GameThief.win32.Onlinegames.vgil

I've even tried to go thru the registry and clean out anything associated with gamevance.com  This is thw website that seems to be the culprit.  Is there anyone out there that can offer any assistance?  Thanx

The reason you are getting this is because the System Volume Information folder is what the computer uses if you perform a System Restore.

To get rid of it, - reset and re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows.

1. Turn off System Restore.
      On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
      Click Properties.
      Click the System Restore tab.
      Check "Turn off System Restore".
      Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
      On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
      Click Properties.
      Click the System Restore tab.
      Uncheck "Turn off System Restore".
      Click Apply, and then click OK.
