| I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 and using the free version of AVG.

| run AVG to remove it.
|
| But when I run AVG, either on the whole drive or even customized to
| only that folder, it finds nothing.
|
| I have searched the AVG virus database but can't find anything, and
| not at Symantec. I have google searched the internet for information
| but can only find some reference to a cleaner at www.comet.com, which
| I tried with no success.
|
| One other thing is that I cannot get into the directory in question,
| even though I am the administrator.
|
| Does anyone have any insights into this?

| Thanks ...Paul
