removing protected files

[rueda]

could anybody tell me how to remove the two write
protected files that installed themselves on my computer
after having had the blaster worm? the files are located
in c:\windows\system32\wins (svchost.exe & dllhost.exe).
all attempts made to delete them have failed... please i
am quite desperate...

Hi,

Instructions for removing the Welchia worm:

Basically, you need to stop trying to delete the ones in %windir%\system32,
and start deleting the ones under %windir%\system32\wins
