I'll try to be short.
We have a saying in my country(and I'm sure the rest of the world agrees with it) "better prevent it rather than heal it" but it's cool on my language cuz it has better rhyme.
that's why you should buy the pro version

system volume information stores files from the system restore.
any files there are harmless UNLESS you use the system restore function to revert your computer back to a certain time.
the system volume information folder can be easily purged with turning off and turning on the system restore however i wouldn't advise doing this since malwarebytes got rid of that file so it probably wont show up in the next scan
also, if you turn off and turn on the system restore, you will lose all restore points meaning if something suddenly happens with your computer you cant revert it to a previous state
As for is it a FP or not, I'm not sure that even experts can tell you because:
It takes few uncommon steps to get access to that folder(system volume information) and you can easily mess up your comp

This is very very weird... I tried again I couldn't access... after 20 seconds i tried again and I could access
what might be the problem?
I think it's my ISP..

Hmm now in the morning it happens again.. I can't access besttechie.net
if I enter http://188.40.40.140/ in my browser however, it loads the page like 50%... all the pictures are missing

Sure no problems.
Thanks

I checked now on both my router and my local area connection. DNS servers are obtained automatically on both.
-
Did you have to use OpenDNS or no?
B
Nope, I didn't change anything. Using OpenDNS = configuring my router with their servers right?
-
Hmm for some strange reason I can access besttechie.net now
wohoo
and I couldnt access it for few days now...
-
Errm now that you mention it, I remember checking this opendns thing out... but I think I didn't configure my router to use their servers

Hi,
I cannot access www.besttechie.net
I'm lost and I will list out what I have tried so far:
1. Checked the router settings, everything is fine there
2. Tried clearing the cache, still can't access
3. Thought the problem is with my ISP but I asked another guy who has the same ISP as me, he could access the site
4. When I ping besttechie.net all packets are recieved
5. Here's the tracert log
6. Tried both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox
7. When I put in the IP instead of the name of the site, I get this And when I click on any link, it doesn't work
8. I thought it might be something in the hosts file. So I opened it and found no traces of besttechie there. I also "disabled" the HOSTS file (I use both mvphosts and spybot's immunize function) but to no avail
9. With using a proxy site (www.hidemyass.com) I can access the web site
10. I'm 99% sure I'm clean of malware

I'm browsing this forum i always do (gaming) and on one page my avira popped up saying there is a virus in the cache...
With my "uber elite" skills, i managed to find out that the file in the cache which avira finds infected is a picture that one guy posted.
This one
hxxp://www.homee.com/pic/thread%20sucks.jpgI opened the jpg with notepad and found a java script in it that leads to one page that seems legit

I dont suppose my PC is infected now -,-

Hi
I noticed, if I haven't updated mbam for 1 month, the size of the next update will be 2-3 megabytes... If I haven't updated mbam in 1 day, the size of the next update will be 2 megabytes... I don't see the logic in this... cant you guys make the updates smaller? o_o
I mean the daily updates...
As for, if a user didn't update for 1 month, you can make that 10 megabytes +

Oh thanks Tony, I checked it out before but forgot to reply

Hello,
I'm using malwarebytes for more than a year now and every scan would come up clean or sometimes with some false positives. However with today's scan it picked up:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\bfast.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\commission-junction.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\fastclick.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\fastclick.net (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\kqzyfj.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\linksynergy.com (Adware.BHO) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
I was curious and went to check this part of the registry and there were 100+ keys with names of many sites. Is this the part of the registry where Internet's explorer history is saved? Will it be OK if I delete all these keys here? I guess it will delete the history of Internet Explorer... but since it is a guess I'd need someone to confirm
Hmm when I took a better look at the keys, all of the names are some sites I've never visited O_O
odd

IceSword did the job like, no problem.
thanks anyway

Errm this folder now became invincible... I cannot delete it. I tried killbox, your fileassassin, ot move it to no avail.
Give me your best arsenal!

OK
Thank you.

Blah I hate double posting (now remembered the rule you had here about editing)...
anyways
the folder didn't got deleted but it's no longer a hidden system file... and there is no autorun.inf in the quarantine.

Hi nosirrah
is that a reply to me? How will you use my system to debug the issue O_O
I have chosen to remove it just to see if the folder gets deleted...
brb rebooting

Yeah you all read the thread but did you actually checked the date when it was posted?
And I thought I have a new chance for winning a license...

I became a fan!
However, I am really wary of Facebook right now ever since I found out about the Worm.Koobface yesterday and since I got re-directed to a nasty site when I tried to log in there (this happened with myspace too). the site was antimalwarescanner . com. I assume that FB had nothing to do with it but since there are so many users on the site it is a prime target for malicious activity, it seems :/?
This never happened to me and I'm on facebook for months...
You tried to login on facebook and it redirected you to some nasty site? If that's what you were saying..
Almost impossible if you aren't infected...
