I have a machine that is using Windows XP. I have run a
virus scan and 1 virus keeps coming up. It lies
within 'HOSTDLL.exe' int eh following location.
c:\Windows\System32\wins\

I have tried three types of virus software but I cannot
remove the virus. Is there anyway to access this file so
that I can get at the virus?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Saltrock,

I have solved this one by going into task manager then
ending the dllhost.exe task, then you go
c:\windows\system32\wins\ and delete the hostdll.exe
file. Hope that helps.
