Hi,
I am using PC Cillin 2005, the software detected there was a spyware called
spysheriff. I tried to remove it with the software. But it says system
volume information is not accessible. Does anyone know how to remove it? I
have Spybot, ad-aware, spyware-doctor (trial version) and spy sweeper
(trial version)
Thanks
Jack

Did you scan in Safe Mode or Normal Mode? If the latter, try the former.

Alias
 
If you cannot access "C:\System Volume Information", at the command line type:


cacls "C:\System Volume Information" /t /e /p BUILTIN\Administrators:F


This should change the ACLs (Access Control Lists) to allow administrators
to access the directory.

/t recursed sub-dirs
/e edits ACLs, not replacing them
/p changes permissions
BUILTIN\Administrators is the group "Administrators"
The :F after stands for "Full Access".
