Pidief.F threat with no Registery problems

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I recently received a virus warning that I am infected with the Pidief.F Trojan. I followed the removal instructions that asked me to remove a number of Registry entries. I could not find any of them, even with the "Find", searching the entire registry file.

I am using XP and System Works 2006. Everything has been updated.

How can I tell what's triggering the warning, and are there variants I should be looking for in the registry?

Hi, I think you should check

Hi,

I think you should check the risk log, scan log and make sure that the SEP client has detected the risk. Then if the threat could not be removed in ormal boot, you can reboot in Safe mode with networking and then run a full system scan on your computer.

But the important thing here is to verify the source of the messages.

Best,
