Answer 2

McAfee and Nortons are pure garbage and has been for years. Plus each an every year they just get worse. (One would think they would evolve over the years).

You can only run one antiviurs program, or you will have serious conflict with your system.

If you have a purchased McAfee. remove the program an install Avast from http://www.avast.com Or shutdown your antivirus program after you have download Avast to save, (documents, etc. etc). Avast has excellent state of the art background scanner that would have caught this virus before it ever entered your system and destroyed it. Plus you will get auto updates two or three times per day. They will send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you must request a new key.

The corporate version is the very same, they just make corporate pay.

I have use Avast for nine plus years an I never had one virus in my systems. Avast is out of Prague.

After you remove the virus, always reboot your system. Same for spyware.

Do you have the full version of Mcaffee or just a partial free download version. Maybe somehow you can go in and change the properties of the Trojan. Or the file it is infecting. You might need to delete or
go to the add/ remove programs in your control panel, and get rid of it that way.

Answer 4

I've been able to get rid of write protected viruses and trojans by using the command prompt. Write down the full path and name of the file that your antivirus tells you is the problem, and then go into DOS mode and delete that file.

Find yourself a program to do it for you, and at least to protect you for a while. Renew with another if you can't afford to buy it. Your computer always deserves protection. Here's a place you can go to find free software and free trials of software. I ran a search for you. I got 39 programs for you to choose from:

C-Net runs this site. They're safe and extremely trustworthy, and you can get pretty much any kind of software you want through them, at least on a trial basis. I come here first to check for every download I need.
