AVG reported a trojan, BackDoor.Hupigon3.ARCW, in the system volume
information folder. I unchecked hide protected system operating files, then tried to open the system volume information folder and got "system volume information is not accessible, access is denied." I HATE WINDOWS !!! Did you get it that I hate windows? |

Did you get it that I hate windows? If you are sure that the file is a virus, download the following ISO and burn it to CDR, data, multisession. Then boot it. Run pmount (something like that, in file tools menu) to mount your hard drive (click on the icon near your hard drive to turn it green to "mount" it). Now start up the file explorer utility, and you will have full access to every file on your hard drive. Just be careful you delete the right file and nothing else. -Dave ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linu...-seamonkey.iso This is a full-featured operating system, and makes a good rescue disk, also. |

how to delete virus in system volume info?
.. . . and MACs have viruses also but since winblows is used more by
business, going after those machines does more damage. From: http://www.labwithleo.com/transcript...episode143.pdf FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED A VIRUS IN THE WILD FOR OS X. IT WASN'T EASY TO GET. THE WAY YOU WOULD GET IT IS YOU'D GO TO A WEBSITE, A WEBSITE WITH ADULT VIDEO ON IT, AS IT TURNS OUT, ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE ANY KIND OF VIDEO, AND YOU TRY TO START TO WATCH THE MOVIE AND IT WOULD SAY, OH, SORRY - AND YOU SEE THIS ALL THE TIME ON THE WEB - YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CODEC, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DOWNLOAD IT, CLICK THIS LINK. YOU CLICK THE LINK, YOU DOWNLOAD THE FILE. OS X AS ALWAYS WOULD SAY -- THERE'S A PROGRAM TRYING TO BE INSTALLED FROM THIS WEBSITE; DO YOU WANT TO SAY OKAY? IF YOU'RE NOT OPERATING AS THE ADMINISTRATOR, YOU'D HAVE TO GIVE YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE PASSWORD, YOU'D TYPE THAT IN, IT WOULD INSTALL. BUT INSTEAD OF INSTALLING A MOVIE CODEC, IT WOULD ACTUALLY INSTALL A PROGRAM THAT WOULD CHANGE YOUR HOST'S FILE IN SUCH A WAY SO THAT WHEN YOU WENT TO CERTAIN SITES, PERHAPS YOUR BANKING SITE, IT WOULD LOOK TO BE YOUR BANKING SITE, EVEN YOUR BROWSER WOULD SAY IT WAS YOUR BANKING SITE, BUT, IN FACT, IT WOULD BE A HACKER'S SITE. YOU'D GIVE THEM YOUR PASSWORD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL YOUR BANKING INFORMATION IS OUT THERE. SO, THIS IS A PRETTY NASTY TROJAN HORSE PROGRAM |

how to delete virus in system volume info?
I would delete all restore points by shutting down system restore and
rebooting....then run another scan and if clear turn Restore back on and create a restore point. The Trojan could be in that last restore point peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

Did you get it that I hate windows? If you are using the full registered version of AVG, then it has the ability to delete virus from the System Volume folder, mine has on a number of occasions. Another way to remove virus from the System Volume folders is to remove all but the last restore point. From within Windows Explorer, Right click on the [C:/ Root Directory] and then [Properties] then on the General Tab [Disk Cleanup], then go to the [More Options] tab, in the bottom section under System Restore click on the [Cleanup] button, a box will popup asking you ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE ALL BUT THE LAST RESTORE POINT (YES or NO), click [YES], then click [OK] back in the disk cleanup window, another popup will ask you ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PERFORM THESE ACTIONS, click [YES] then click [OK] on the drive properties window. Windows creates System Volume Information folders on each hard drive on you computer, you might need to repeat this procedure on each drive. You should have picked up a fare bit of drive space from the multiple restore points removed, now run a complete virus scan on your drives to see that the virus is gone, if so, then create a new restore point remembering that there is still one there but another wont hurt. This all seems to make sense to me now as I typed it but given that I have to had my first cup of coffee yet, it might not when I see it in the group later, but you should not have a problem.

Or have a hidden copy of Windows on your hard drive. Actually that might be hard for most people, but it solves anything System Restore can solve and just about everything else that isn't hardware failure (but it helps troubleshoot that too). It might not be good for some software technician practicing Windows certification stuff, you do get lazy, but it's easy and it always works (with the exception of catastrophic hard drive failure). It's like the friendliness of a Mac with the power of Windows. Get yourself free. Guess so. |

I was unable to change the security permission on the folder. Hence my frustration, after 'unhiding' the system volume info and not simply being able to delete the infected file. I've been working with WinBlows for more than 10 yrs and understand how much better Linux is and wish it was in Microshaft's place. |

Btw, you didn't say whether you're running AV/FW. The virus got on my system when some bonehead I let use my computer opened a malicious email attachment. |
