DigeratiPrime Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 reboot in safemode, and then run nod32. norton is pretty much worthless in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The file appears to be inside a restore point so it is probably safe to delete outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 You must always undo all restore points when deleting viruses. Even in slave mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombaTwist Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 nod32 cant even detect the folder its in, the folder is freakin hidden and wont let me or the virus scanner access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Did you go to system properties and undo your system, restore then redo it. That will clear it. Then rerun a check with the latest updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George27 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 If you can't see a virus usually you have to have the "show system files" or use a progie like total commander, which is a better way, with the same show settings and the file will be easily found with the search feature. Personally I use an eraser to overwrite the virus once you know where it is. Then in case you forget to reset the system restore and you do go back to an earlier point, it basically will restore a 0 kb file that will do no harm.

Jeremy Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Yeah, don't use Norton. It is garbage these days. Seriously. I had Norton years ago and it didn't do s*** for me. POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
