Download sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Dowload the signature files (pattern files) by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt192.zip
Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as

| Hi.
| A buddy of mine got his comp pretty much jammed with viruses (no winupdate,
| no firewall =).
|
| He uses antivir (www.free-av.com), each time he reboots his comp antivir
| pops up telling that there are like 4 or so viruses in his temp folder...
| then antivir offers to delete the files, files are deleted then.
| Next time he restarts the files are back in the temp folder...
|
| My suggestion would be backing up all non executeable data of importance,
| stomp the drive and clean-reinstall windows, but he is resilient to that =)
|
| so, any ideas what we could do to get rid of those viruses?
|
| thx in advance..
