I run Win XP, Internet Explorer 6.0.xxx?, Norton Internet Security, Microsoft Antispyware.
Basically NAV found a virus the other day. I had the choice of deleting it, which I did, but NAV could not delete the virus file. The other option was to "skip" it so every time I run NAV, it finds the same virus again. I checked the path/location of the file so that I could use windows explorer to manually delete the virus. Problem is, I cannot find the directory where the virus is located, even while displaying all hidden files and folders. Also, I tried going into dos mode to find the directory but cannot.
The instructions for removing this virus include about 2 pages worth of removals in the registry but rather than do all of that, I restored from a previous point 2 days ago and the registry is clean of this virus's intrusions/commands/instructions.
I will check later when I get home and post the specific virus file name if that helps but.....
how do I delete this virus file? Any suggestions?
