I am trying to find the file under docs and settings where my AV is telling me I have a whole bunch of viruses. Only thing is that when I search for the file it isn't there. Even when I search sub files and hidden files. Any help on how I could find this file. All of the files the AV is finding are all zip files that I haven't dled.
need help finding "complete" file

Download Msconfig Cleanup below
Msconfig Cleanup Free
Run Msconfig Cleanup after you unchecked the items you were told to uncheck and recheck, click "Select All", then click "Clean up Selected", then click "Quit". Make sure your antivirus and firewall are not checked.
Now run each spyware program 1 by 1. Running all 3 at the same time will slow most systems down.
When each program has finished scanning, remove everything.
Now go to the recycle bin and delete everything that is in it.
When finished with the scans, reboot, and go into Safe Mode and run these scans again, remove everything they find, and then reboot back into Windows in normal mode. You dont need to run Hijackthis! yet.
Then run HiJackthis!
