Trojan Virus in System Restore folder

My virus scanner (AVG) detected a Trojan (IRC Backdoor) a few days ago. Major problem as not only did it keep flashing up a warning, something kept restarting my PC at decreasing intervals until it was rebooting just after booting.

Re: London Congestion Charge

(London's pathetic excuse for a mayor -- let's not forget that concrete block he built which were meant to be government offices but actually never were and will probably get bulldozed soon) Do you mean the GLC building in the middle of the roundabout at Waterloo? If so not only was it over 20 year...

I don't think the Congestion charge was supposed to be popular. Infact it's doing it's job surely by detterring motorists using the area's it's in. Indeed, it's not meant to be popular, it's meant to do its job. Politicians are not there to make popular decisions. That's what I like about Ken. Any ...

Yeah there are quite a few own brand products that have changed or disappeared, cloudy apple juice for example. Their packed meat and fish too is diffrent - can't buy a decent sized pack of 2 bits of breaded cod/haddock any more. Had to buy a pack of chicken thighs - they only have packs of 7, when ...

Something similar happened on a UK local news programme a few years ago. A reporter talking about car accidents recording his piece by the side of the road when cars (too busy watching the reporter) crash into each other and drive up the bank.

I never thought I'd say this, but nice one Michael Howard (although not a hope in hell that I'll vote for you) Yes, nothing will change if Kerry wins. Corporations will still run America, the American poor will still be very poor and without any social security, the troops will still be in Iraq, the...

Would you explode this poor defenseless teddy? Not his fault he ended up on a plane. In the BA "Concorde Collection" next to a £200 bottle of Whisky and a £400 bottle of perfume. Not for your average "chavs" whatever they maybe (I don't think we have them in Surrey). Yes the ted...

Strange I was thinking about this recently... (oh, hello everyone, I'm Inspector Sands) ....I was queuing for the check-in desk in a european airport and noticed that everyone around me was wearing football shirts. Why do people feel the need to travel to or from a foriegn country with an England ki...
