What does safe mode mean? Is this when you turn system
restore off?
My file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\svchost.exe is infected with
the Backdoor.IRC.RPCBot.D virus. I have ran NAV and
stinger and they both state that it is unable to
eliminate the virus. In both cases, system restore was
turned off. In the case of NAV, I updated virus
definitions. Nothing has worked. Has anyone else
encountered this problem.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DELETE THE SVCHOST.EXE FILE? WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN IF I DID THIS?
