I downloaded a virus called w32.pinfi - (Norton also had
a list of other names for it.Win32.Parite.a [KAV],
W32/Pate.a [McAfee], Win32.Pinfi.A [CA], PE_PARITE.A
[Trend], W32/Parite-A [Sophos], Win32/Parite.A [RAV])
Norton AV found it but could not quarantine, delete, or
repair it. I have been trying everything to get rid of it
for 6 hours but I cannot not make the file accesible to
me, so that i can delete it. I have gone through
properties - security - advanced like one of the
microsoft pages recommended, Both for the file and
folder. I followed the instructions. It should be
following the rules on the parent file, but it isn't, I
should have the right to delete. I have Window's XP. The
file is in:
c:\documents and settings\brandon\local
settings\temp\brj183.tmp
the virus is in the brj183.tmp file... Is there anyway I
can delete this file. Please help, thank you so much
dave
