zillah Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 My computer has been infected with spyware, I tried to rename some infected fiels in the "WINNT\System32\lyfoctrs.dll" directory, while a PC is booting in safe mode. But I received this error message:" Can not rename lyfoctrs.dll : There has been a sharing violation.The source or destination file may be in use".When I checked the running processes , I could not find that name (lyfoctrs.dll) running in the memory!!!What should I do with this case, and similar other cases?
