Title: worm "saturday 14-th 669" in "memory.dmp
Post by: Avastar on January 21, 2007, 11:40:07 AM

hi,
my last Avast h.e. deep scan have found the worm "saturday 14th-669" in c:\windows\memory.dmp. It's impossible move the malware in the chest (alert message: "memory insufficient").
I scanned my pc with Kaspersky an Bitdefender online scan, but they found nothing.
Maybe it's a false positive?
Can I delete manually memory.dmp without risk?

I'm not sure how to do it manually, but CCleaner has an option to delete memory dumps.
