Hi all

%System%\cmd.com
%System%\netstat.com
%System%\ping.com
%System%\regedit.com
%System%\taskkill.com
%System%\tasklist.com
%System%\tracert.com

the file attributes for these are +SH (system and hidden). i am unable
to delete, change attrib or rename these files.

My antivirus program - eTrust Antivirus from CA is unable to remove
these files as well.

Please let me know how i can delete these files.

Thanks

Update eTrust Antivirus for the latest definitions.

Try running eTrust Antivirus in Safe Mode.
