Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me out on this one. I've just been on my
brother's PC, and his AVG virus scanner says he has a Swizzor c virus on his
computer.
The location of it is

C:\PQSC\CPS\000082\FILES\001\0DD538

He's using Win ME. The AVG scanner cannot get rid if it. Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

1) Disable System Restore

2) Please reboot your PC into Safe Mode
3) Perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) Re-enable System Restore, reboot the PC
6) Create a new Restore point
7) Please report back your results

PowerQuest? Are you sure this isn't a "false positive"?

You should send the suspect file to Grisoft or any of these addresses
and ask for confirmation. I don't think that any malware will settle
down in a directory not central for the functioning of windows.
