PWS.Hooker.Trojan in CAB file

893 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Mosaic1
I have installed Norton Anti Virus and it detected a virus (pws.hooker.trojan) in a CAB file in what looks like an archive I have made.

It says it cant quarantine, repair or remove this file -
The exact message I get is :

Source: A0065004.CPY
Description: The compressed file A0065004.CPY within G:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS3.CAB is infected with the PWS.Hooker.Trojan virus.


Any suggestions - I cant find the CAB file - it mus be in some system directory that I cant access..

THANKS

OK - The steps above did not work - but I think I know what happened - The drive - the G drive is the old C drive in a previous pc that I have installed as a second hard drive - Guess I should have noticed that sooner!! - It must be a system restore from my older pc - Is there a way to remove that from a secondary drive that is not the boot drive?

I went through the process described - I found the system restore switch on the properties screen of my computer - I turned the system restore off - I shut down - I started back up - I turned system restore back on - and created a new restore point. It found the virus in the same place - A0065004.cpy

Here is the log from Norton again - Source: A0065004.CPY
Description: The compressed file A0065004.CPY within G:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS3.CAB is infected with the PWS.Hooker.Trojan virus.
Click for more information about this threat : PWS.Hooker.Trojan

Notice - it is G:
Any ideas?? I could format that drive - but that would be a pain moving all the other data around..

Thanks again for your help.
