I had Adware installed on my computer. HAD is the key word here! On Dec. 31, 2003, Norton Anti-Virus detected the Trojan. Narat virus. It turned out that Adware.Mpgcom is a Browser Helper Object that sends data to and receives data from a remote Web site. The symptoms are the existence of the files name %Windir%\mpgcom.dll or %Windir%\msnarrator.exe. When this component is active, it will send data that may contain personal identifiable information to a third-party server. It also displays pop-up ads on the system, and it contains functionality to update itself.
I was able to remove everything from my computer except the file msnarrator.exe. It will not let me delete or move it
It is not a threat but still does the pop-ups through IE. In order to rid your computer of this virus, the first step is disabling System Restore - which I have done. When everything has been removed, turn System Restore back on. I still have it off because of the existence of this malicious file.
I am at a loss of how to delete this file
If anyone can help me, please respond to this posting or contact me directly at my email addy
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
