Dear all,
When I use the Windows Live Safety scanner to scan my computer, my own
antivirus program "Norman" detects two files "A0081285.EXE" and
"A0076088.exe" in the folder System Volume Information containing the virus
"W32/SpyBot.AAQB". But when I search for this virus in the internet, I can't
get any information about it. My question is " is my computer really
infected?" or "is there any problems in my computer leading to this
infection?"
Thanks
Patrick

It isn't a good idea to have two AV pacjages installed. They may interfere with
each other.
However, its seems that as Microsoft's software scanned the system, it kicked
off Normat tio
detect a SpyBot variant.

Yes, I think you may be infected.

Use the following tool to scan and clean your computer.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
