Hello,
I have read the 5 messages on the forum about the Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk] virus, but none of them could solve the problem.
It happened when visiting the site https://www.ecrandeveille.net/ for reference.
File name: C:\Windows\Temp\ZUMDB0F.tmp\upgrade.exe
Malware name: Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk]
Types: Rootkit
VPS version: 080504-0, 04/05/2008
Avast detects the virus and reports it, advising me to quarantine it. I tried deleting it, but nothing works; it comes back periodically.
Has anyone found a solution in the meantime?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, I'm going to try it; on the other topics, he doesn't talk about that one.
I confirm, under no circumstances should you quarantine or delete!
I had Avast, I quarantined it but it kept coming back (I continued to quarantine it).
After a few times, an error message appeared saying that for system stability, I had to insert the XP CD to restore files in win32.
I didn't hesitate, thinking, my god, my PC is going to crash.
Hmmm apparently putting the CD in "excited" the virus because suddenly everything froze and virus alert messages started coming in by the dozen!
Then it became impossible to do anything, in desperation I deleted ... the messages kept coming anyway. Everything froze, I had to restart and there ... Well I still have my files but there's no way to back them up, to move them so I've lost everything!
So, don’t make the same mistake I did.
PS: Is there a way to reinstall the lost file? Since my Windows system is on a different partition than all my other files, would just formatting that disk allow me to recover my data?
Thank you

and it's not a virus
no you can't reinstall the lost file it doesn't work
however if your windows is on a separate partition you can format just that partition
I didn't format I just launched the windows cd, installed windows, update, and windows reinstalled itself and everything works without having to reinstall the software, drivers, peripherals
and here is the cause with avast, which I received in an email but too late

Hello momon,
Some AVAST users may have encountered issues while playing the game GEMMZ on Cmonjour.
The AVAST antivirus reports: "A malware has been found!"
This message from Avast is triggered by one of the flash components used on GEMMZ as well as on pages containing flash games, or animations on many websites.
This flash component potentially represents a security vulnerability that is corrected in the latest version of Adobe's flash player.
That said, to claim that you are about to download "malware"... is inaccurate and excessively alarmist!
Moreover, AVAST seems to have fixed this by updating its software.
To resolve this issue, we recommend:
1/ Download the latest version of the Flash player:
- Download this player from Adobe's website by following this link (copy/paste it into your browser):
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
- Download the flash player, and install it by double-clicking on the "install" file you just downloaded and following the installation program's instructions.
2/ Update AVAST as follows:
- in the taskbar (at the bottom right of your screen), right-click on the AVAST logo ("a")
- from the menu that appears, choose "Update" then "Program Update".
- To finalize the update, restart your computer
Once these 2 updates are done, you should be able to access the GEMMZ game again!
We apologize for this inconvenience although it is beyond our control!
Enjoy your game on Cmonjour!

Hi,
It's fine with AVG, at first it did detect the Rootkits (3), I eliminated them and they haven't come back.
Once again, thanks for the info.
See you later
PS: Except the app is only in English and Japanese, it's ok but it's more comfortable in French.
And it messed with IE a bit, but that's another story.
