put the hdd into another pc that is clean of virii/trojans/etc and then run scans and whatnot.. the biggest prob is that when AV's find a virus, it can't remove it because "file in use" On Fri, 1 Aug 2003, Flory D Jeffrey Contractor 59MDSS/MSISI wrote:
A friend of mine recently went from Windows ME to Win2K, but now he has a trojan on his computer. He is running Norton Anti-virus, and it will not clean it off, it will only quarentine it. The affliction is: Backdoor.Trojan, and it has placed a hidden folder on his hard drive called: Payload.Dat. He cannot get ride of it. We have tried doing a search on the internet for some kind of information pertaining to this, but we had no luck. We also tried all the antiviral websites but they do not have a tool for this. My question is: Has anyone ever heard of this, and if so, how do you clean it off. Thanks in advance for any assistance, anyone can provide.
