Re: Needed/Unneeded files



Yes delete the files.

1) Then turn off System Restore, reboot in Safe Mode (pressing F8 a few
times while booting).

2) Run your virus scan again.

3) Also run Ad-Aware SE Personal (first) and SpyBot-Search & Destroy
(second).

4)Reboot in Normal Mode and turn System Restore back on.
