windows cannot delete virus
Hello,
I have McAffee security centre which uopdates automatically - I have broadband. It did non detectt the virus which the Microsfot beta system detected. I see it also uses McAffee. Every time I turn my computer off and then turn it on again - it says my antivirus subscription should be checked - I check it even though I know it is Ok, I then check to see if the firewall is on - it has strangely been turned off as has the antivirus software - this has only happened in the last few days. I have reinstalled McAffe antivirus twice and scanned but it does not detect a virus - I have tried restore point - that doesn't work but then again I do not know when this virus got on the computer - all I know is I have had problems in the last few days. However the Beta system says it cannot delete the virus - is there any remedy for this? regards, Jacquie |

MSAS is a good program, but it is still in beta (not finished yet) and you need more than one tool to remove malware. Go through the following removal steps systematically: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

windows cannot delete virus
Hi there,
I spent quite a long time downloading and scanning - more than once .- the Spybot software and the Ad-Aware SE Personal from lavasoft. I have them both installed on the computer. However I have today scanned with the Micrsoft beta scanning facility and it found that flippin malware again - Win32/NewMalware.E how can I get rid of it. I have had a bit of problem scanning in safe mode as when iI hit the F8 button on my Italina keyboard it comes up that my jkeyboard is not instaled properly (are the keys different in different languages?) I have no ports open to abuse as I checked via Mcaffee firewall, my antivirus updates automatically and I have no viruses as far as McAffe Security centre is concerned. However when I turned the computere on this morning my Firewall was turned to off again and I acn't understand how this is being done. Obviously the Malware is coded to do this but I can't get rid of it and am not sure how it got on the computer in the first place - could I bug you all again and ask you to help me? regards, JacquieCC "David H.

If not, I suggest removing the old versions, installing the new versions, updating them and scanning with them. Win32/NewMalware.E is a heuristic detection by Microsoft as I was discussing with Rany Treit of Microsoft earlier Today, the Beta AV scanner web site will not delete Heuristically detected malware. The followeing should detect and remove remove what was found. Use at least the McAfee and Kaspersky scan modules.
