dear friend,

I am using avg 8.0 free in my windows xp and i found the virus named under virus vault
"virus identified worm/autoit.no---c:windows/ssvichosst.exe"
"virus identified worm/autorun.f---c:windows/system32/autorun.ini"
Also i noticed that the hidden folders in my computer cannot be found even i activiate use the FOLDER OPTION
i remove from the virus valult and i get the same virus one more time after the second scan
I used windows RESTORE POINT for getting my computer for previous week status, but it worked and the same problem is still remaining , i.e, hidden folders cannot access
