Windows XP and System 32

[Shawn]

I have a virus, MultiDropper-GP.b, that has attached
itself to C:\windows\System 32\wingua.exe\WINGUA.EXE.
McAfee Virus 7.0 has identified it but I cannot clean the
virus or delete it since it is with an exe. file. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of the
virus?

Hi dude

Try booting with any bootable cd/floppy, and clean the
virus using the anti virus emergency diskette/cd.

once the file which is affected with virus gets activated
or is used by system, u can neither delete it or clean it.

try booting from a win98/ me cd, which will take u to dos
prompt. after reaching there just do a full system scan
with the emergency floppy/cd.

u can make a emergency floppy from ur anti-virus
application,

if u cant do this, then u need access to another computer
which has the latest anti virus running on it.

just attach this computers hard disk as a slave, and clean
it

fix it back to ur machine and it might work.

Boot the computer in Safe Mode and rescan your system.
