Alureon.gen!G

My last scan identified a potential threat. The scan report shows "Trogan:
Alureon.gen!G" as being quarantined only after several passes. I read the
help file on where to identify its location. It stated to click the file, I
did quite a few times.but nothing happened.

The Scan report shows the program name as "Trogan: Alureon.gen!G" in
quarantine. This is goodness but was it a file or registry entry and where?

Trojans are usually DLL or EXE files and may modufy the Registry. You "quarantine" files,
not Resitry changes. IFF OneCare found the Trojan modified the Registry, it would back of
the Registry areas affected first, and gthen fix the Registry.

IFF the the Trojan is deemed to be a False Positive declaration, you could restore the
fiikle from quarantine and "hopefully" OneCare would restore the Registry back to its
original settings.
