Reply:If you know where the file that is infected is located, and the message said that it can be safly remove (deleted) then Delete it. If you have an antivirus program installed on your computer it will catch viruses , make sure that your antivirus program is (Up-To- Date) and do a Full System Scan, not a (quick scan) When you do a full system scan your whole computer would be scan (all files, folders, sub-folders, register, etc.) Your anivirus program will catch viruse no matter where they are, but you got to make sure that it is uptodate and do a full scan once a week . Even though All antivirus program are NOT 100% proof, but they do a very good job in protecting out computers.
Reply:if he file CAN deleted .. then delete it .. if NOT .. then u have to reformat ur computer .. thats all ...
Reply:it sounds like a virus, try this free anti virus, i have used it for quite sometime, and im very pleased with it. after you let it full update run a complete scan. and if you really want to make sure, do this.


1. restart your computer


2. press the f8 key multiple times until your taken to a black window with white letters and options.


3. start your computer in safe mode and run another complete scan, reason- safe mode runs your computer on minimal processes so its way easier for an anti virus to find the signature of a virus, esp a new one. dont download avg unless its from grisoft the company of desinged it.
Reply:run antivirus. AVG/Norton recommended. simply run them (install if u don't have) and delete them. deleting them without scanning may/may not delete the virus.
