re: I can't delete a virus.

Right-click on it and open the Properties box. How big is this folder at this time? Now open your controm panel, System, Properties, File System and slide the system Restore folder cache slider down to 200Mb and click Apply, wait for the files to come off the drive and for the disk activity to stop, then click OK and OK you way out of the control panel. Run another anti-virus scan and see if the affected files have been removed. If not go one step further and go back to the Conterol Panel, System, Performance, File System, troubleshooting tab and put a check mark in "Disable System Restore" and click apply, OK, etc. Close all open Windows and re-boot your computer. Go back to this check-box and remove the check-mark, click Apply, OK, etc. Run your anti-virus scanner again. If they have gone you should be in the clear. Open System Restore and put a new restore point in. If the system is not clear you will need to boot to an A:\> prompt using your Windows Start-Up disk(ette) (floppy disk) choose Minimum boot and when the prompt loads type: A:\>DELTREE C:\_RESTORE , press Enter and answer Y = Yes to "Do you want to delete this Folder and all of its sub-folders?" Then re-boot the system and again put a new Restore point in.
