Post by: Noise.uk on December 30, 2004, 17:24

[LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN] .. i downloaded a file, and as normal before i opened it, i scanned it, saw that it had a virus and instantly deleted, after that did a system check and it seems to be on my pc :/ i can't get rid of it lol, or even access the folder to remove it manually.. any suggestions?

I have had to remove the link you posted, because I wasn't sure if it was the virus you have downloaded, and didn't want anyone else having problems.

Sorry if that wasn't the case - PM me if you wish to verify.

Back to your problem - did you get any details of what the virus was?  there may be a specific tool available for it's removal.  Try http://securityresponse.symantec.com/
