how can i kill the virus?

[Limor]

I have a file in my windows folder called MSMGT that is
infected with a trojan virus. I can't send it to the
trash. I have a virus protection program and when ever I
right-click the file or trying to drag it to the trash,
the virus protection program annonces about the virus and
then I can't delete it since it appears to be open or in
use.
what can i do? please help.

try to Quarintee (spelling might be wrong) the item. If not try "McAFee" virus scan... I originally had the same problem a few days back with the Trojan and the Jeefo virus, Norton anti-virus handled most viruses but not all. McAFee was able to take care of the rest, remember to "choose" quarintee item if unable to "clean". You may ask can "You" do this without spending money for all the programs Yes. A little thing called Kaaza can help, be careful.
