Zone alarm trail suite: "type_boot" virus ?

clapton is god · 3 Oct 2007 at 19:17

hi, got the trial version running.
2 days running it keeps picking up a virus called Type_boot.
it finds 2 entries, it cannot delete them but it says it has successfully deleted them then i should re-boot, which i do.
trouble is i run Z/a again and once again it detects the virus.
another odd thing is i've run Nod32 anti-virus and also used today Norton's and Trend's onlince scanners and neither have detected anything.

please help.

Could be just a false positive if nothing else has picked it up.

What are the two entries? Where are they located?

And what are the entries?
Are they references to actual files or just references within existing files e.g. in the registry.

scan results>
just says 2 entries with the exact same name*Type_boot*, abs no more info given by z/a,
they are both in my boot drive> my doc/settings folder.

when i do a search nowt comes up.

when i click on the files in the z/alarm scan results, it then shows a kapersky webpage saying it cannot find anything on the tytpe_boot virus/viri.
int the box at the bottom of the scan ie *details* box, no further info is supplied on the detected files.

z/a says treatment has failed and suggest >delete virus on re-boot.
