Hi I downloaded a file from download.com the other day, as it was
completing avast! says its infected and i chose to delete the virus.
the file (called setup.exe) still remained in my download directory, i
couldnt delete because it said it its in use, well i have rebooted,
rebooted in safe mode and still can;t delete it, its not a startup
item, its not referenced anywhere in the regsitry, i have run a boot
time virus scan, full spyware scan with spysweeper, still same message
when i try and delete it, its reporting its size now as 0kb, can't
think of what else to do. i am running a firewall and have carefully
watched outgoing and incoming connections and can't see anything unsual
there so i think its possibly just a file system error..
I have also tried to remove it from dos, however when i choose dos from
the boot menu it just loads xp and gives me a dos prompt (not exactly
the same thing) and because its on a drive partition i can't access it
(can only get c:)
is there a way to get into full dos before xp loads??
Flamer.
