I believe it to be a false positive as it is part of the recovery folder

OK we can clear those easily as they are in the restore points 

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

running much faster, and so far (knock on wood) there havent been any notifications of infection.  If this was a false positive....what should i do with the files that got moved to the virus vault (some of them are from the recovery sector).   Many thanks for your asistance in this matter. :D

The ones that were part of the recovery try a rescan from within the chest once a week 
Once they come up clean then restore from the chest

Run OTL and press the cleanup button to remove it and delete aswMBR from the desktop

If they are from system restore then just delete them as they cannot be replaced in the restore volume
