      Right i got a virus detection notice this afternoon and thought i had caught it but the way my pc slowed down and played up it must have slipped through or part of it , anyhow i have done a system restore  deleted chrome because it had attached to that , i have now re installed chrome but have lost all my bookmarks does anyone know if you can retrieve them and how .
                                         
      To my Knowledge, I don't think you can.

      Using System Restore is often ineffective for removing virus', no matter how far back you take it. Many virus' actually embed themselves in a way that they are 'restored' along with the system.
      Do you have any details about the virus warning, what it said specifically?

      It looks like your system has been seriously compromised, the "trojan dropper generic3.cike" is basically a virus that will open the door for all sorts of other malware, trojans, worms etc and problems you don't want to have to deal with.

      I realise because of your current issues this might be a bit slow, but try and run BitDefender. It's a browser based virus scanner that might pick up someone AVG hasn't.

      Yes, that's fine. If you don't want to use it after the scan you can easily remove it.

      Do you use or have you used any anti malware scanners such as Malwarebytes, or Spybot?

      Interesting that nothing is picked up. I'm afraid without a proper expert in these matters it's hard to tell whether what you're experiencing is down to malware or if AVG has detected false positives and there are other problems causing your computer to slow down.

      I recommend you read this forum post here: (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407). I know there's a lot of steps and if you're not at all tech savvy some of them might cause a bit of a problem, but it's pretty concise, and gives you a lot of good advice, including the fact your problems may not even be caused by malware.

      No problem mate, I'm sorry I could not be more definite in my help.

      To go with Rep's Anti spyware, I can also recommend Malwarebytes "Anti Malware". Both of these programs are also recommended and required if you follow the malware removal steps in the forum post I've linked above.

      Had some bad Trojans and sh*t like that and in the last fortnight ESET quarantined two sites and Stopzilla which is spot on by the way, notified me that some high risk sites had been detected on a scan - that's 4 or 5 high risk sites in a fortnight when previously it would be months between such alerts. Somebody is definitely having a go.

      I didn't say anything, ;D

      One program I would highly recommend is Combofix, it cures all manner of pc problems and it's worth a go even if you think the problem has gone. IF you're going to give it a bash though, 3 things you should know :

      1 - Get it from here -> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix . There are sites such as combofix.org that have nothing to do with it and want you to either pay for it (it should be free) or download malicious software thinking it's Combofix.

      2 - Anti-virus software has to be turned off to run this, it might not work properly otherwise.

      3 - Once started, it should never be interrupted. It will bring up blue or black screens and possibly beep now and then, just don't panick, it's normal.
