Can't delete "virus" program from Temp Folders

Gene Moirao

Hi!
I have 3 remaining "virus" programs in temp folders:
* c:\windows|temp
* c:\Doc & Sett\name\local settings\Temp

When delete or move to desktop, get error:
"Cannnot move........being used by another program..."

Tried Safe Mode, but "virus" programs not there......

Any way I can delete or move to trash?

MUCH THANKS!
Gene:)

Try to show hidden files and folders in Safe Mode and try the deletion.

If you know the correct path to these progs try this tool:

Try this live CD:
Dr.Web® LiveCD
Emergency System Recovery Disk

If this machine really badly infected you need either to take to your local
Repair shop or clean install of the operating system. The later will wipe
out all data and you will lose all of your programs and Personal Data,
Pictures..etc

Who said you were infected with a 'virus' ?
What makes you think it is a 'virus' and NOT a trojan ?

What exactly are they and what is telling you they need to be removed.

Please provide REAL facts.

Hi!

What "'virus'" programs" are these? How do you know they are viruses?

What do you mean by "remaining"? What have you done so far?

If you are using an anti-virus program, which one is it?
