Hi,

Weekly run of Norton AV showed an alert for 3 trojans - 3 removed but one unrepairable and in quarantine. It's called acscore dot exe and is within a AOL backup file - I haven't used AOL for months!

From what I can find out, it could be a false alarm but I'm not a techy sort and am a bit worried ......

Anyone any knowledge on this trojan/virus?

Cheers,

Carl.

where does it say the infected file is? In the restore folder? Windows protects the restore folder by default so anti-virus programs can't remove the files, it's a common method of protecting themselves from deletion. You can turn off system restore which will allow the file(s) to be deleted.

I don't think so - it is in here ... C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\Backup\ACS\Current\Suite\comps

Cheers,
