Can't delete "virus" program from Temp Folders
What program are you using to try to remove them?
What anti-virus app is installed, and is that what you are using to remove them? Install update and run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and see if it can remove them in the course of its scan: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php There are instructions on this web page on how to install and use MBAM: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/viru...privacy-center Please do NOT click any of the ads on that page. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ "Gene Moirao" wrote in message ...

Two approaches, use BartPE to delete from outside the OS, or use:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb897556.aspx which will delete at next reboot before any processes get a chance to start. "Gene Moirao" wrote: Hi!

If you know the correct path to these progs try this tool: http://killbox.net/help.html Try this live CD: Dr.Web® LiveCD Emergency System Recovery Disk http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/?lng=en If this machine really badly infected you need either to take to your local Repair shop or clean install of the operating system. The later will wipe out all data and you will lose all of your programs and Personal Data, Pictures..etc HTH nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

What makes you think it is a 'virus' and NOT a trojan ? What exactly are they and what is telling you they need to be removed. Please provide REAL facts. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
