Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: I can't delete a virus. HELP ME Friday, November 22, 2002 at 4:50 pm Posted by Mac (2831 messages posted) I fouind that by right-clicking on the _RESTORE file opening properties and changing the properties from hidden to Archive or (in French) Lecteur seul (What is that again in English?) and applying the change to all sub folders and files you can simply delete them. When you re-boot Windows should have made a new _RESTORE file. For C:\windows\startmenu\programs\startup\MS_SETUP.exe look here: Symantec Free on-line Anti-Virus check: HouseCall Anti Virus And another from Symantec: Norton-Symantec On-line security check from: Symantec Security Check Configure your connection to protect your bios, etc. Iain On Friday, November 22, 2002 at 4:32 pm, Jack West wrote: I have a few different viruses.

You can't just delete viruses. Go to Trend Micro for an online scan. Find out what you need to do to specifically get rid of any or all virsuses you may have. http://www.housecall.antivirus.com [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: I can't delete a virus.

So, I don't find anything to be amazed about.

HELP ME Saturday, June 14, 2003 at 10:36 pm Posted by Steven (1 messages posted) One thing I have found with Windows XP was that there was something running called ms_setup.exe . I found that via the Windows Task Manager in the Processes section. I ended the process and continued to delete the file. I only had the BKDR_CHARGE.C virus, and fortunatly, it didn't do anything to my computer. The only other way I can think of to delete it would be to hit F8 on startup and go into DOS and try and delete it from there, since it shouldn't be running.

HELP ME Friday, August 27, 2004 at 5:33 am Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) EMERGENCY BOOT DISK These are probably in your hidden C:\_RESTORE Folder so if you open Explorer, and go to Tools Folder Options, View and unhide hidden files and folders and inhide hidden system files then click apply and OK, you should now be able to see the C:\_RESTORE Folder. 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.
