Hi,
During a search with McAfee, a New Malware.u trojan showed up in folder 'C:\Documents and Settings\phil\Application Data\bore memo jugs\This Proc'. It cannot be cleaned, quarantined, or deleted. I have went to the folder and when I try to delete the file, it says Access Denied and that the file is in use. I have looked at the proccesses in taskbar manager and I cannot see anything unusual.
As well as that a mcafee box pops up with a different trojan in a C:\System Volume Information folder which can be deleted but reappears seconds later. I have tried looking for this folder but it is not even there.
Any Help Please
Jonathan
