Just removed a virus from my son's computer. Went to restore the
computer from a good clean point and I noticed that all the System
Restore points are named "Virus Alert: Software Distribution service
3:00 A.M."
Concerned about the "Virus Alert" part of the description. Can I safely
restore; or is this telling me that there is a virus in the restore point?

Interesting. I'll bet you removed some malware in the form of a fake anti virus but this
was never the case of a true "virus."
Does/Did the system show "Virus Alert!" in the system tray at the clock ?
If you view/viewed a folder using; view --> details did that date & time stamp show "Virus
Alert!".
You are absolutely right on. There still is a "Virus Alert" in the
system tray and the "Virus Alert" does show after the date and time stamp.
I am doing another virus scan as we speak. Me thinks I have some work to
do! If I could do a system restore; that would make it easy!

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Don't listen to this guy. If it really is a virus then play it safe and
wipe the HDD and reinstall.

I knew it. :-)
Please do NOT visit PCBUTTS1.Com or use Remove-It. Besides that it is based upon at least
two plagiarized utilities (RogueFix and the MVP Hosts File) it is so simple that it fails
on the complex capabilities of the new fake anti virus scanners. The modified Hosts file
in Remove-It is malicious. It will block legitimate anti malware sites and other
legitimate sites.
Additionally, there is NO need to wipe the PC and re-install the OS after this.
They are False Positive declarations based upon its checking of various registry entries.
The file is a ZIP file that holds a self extracting archive file that extracts and runs a
VBS script, runningnow.vbs.
It is NOT malicious. However it was plagiarized and stolen from Andrew Aronoff's "Silent
Runners" VBS script and is based upon a version of Silent Runners that is a year old. http://www.silentrunners.org/
