Please tell me how to delete these viruses located in C:Windows\System32 ?
They do not appear in search, whereis or manual check.
Thank you,

I am finding that various trojans set their attributes to hidden, system and
read-only. This keeps them from being easily found or deleted, but not
from operating.
Run a command prompt and navigate to the system32 directory. Type "dir /ah
" to list files with the hidden attribute. there *should* not be many;
almost all legitimate windows files are not set to hidden. Also check the
Windows directory.
To be able to delete the files that are not legitimate, use "attrib -s -h -r
<filename>". You'll then be able to see them and delete them, though if
they are running you might have to restart in safe mode to do this.
Be sure to check the filenames on google and with other Windows installs to
see if the files *are* legitimate.
