Trojan Found - cannot be deleted?!

Amba_Gambla

Hi
Just been surfing and got this message from McAfee virus scan....

Trojan Found

File: zone[1]

Trojan name: Exploit-IEPageSpoof

File path: c:\documents and settings...........(etc)

Status: Cannot be deleted

Verify that the file is not write protected and try again.

.............................................................................................

what the hell am I supposed to do if the virus software can't get rid of it?

I just tried a free trend micro scan on it, but that found nothing.....


any suggestions please???

cheers

Give this a whirl.

Turn off Restore First, Run program then Turn restore back On.

the on access virus scanner has caught it, so I doubt there is anything to worry about, cos it's not there (have a look in explorer)

run https://www.windowsupdate.com, to make sure your PC is patched for exploits

it probably can't be removed as the process is running. Reboot into safe mode and run your virus scanner.

thanks for your help... I deleted temp internet files (IE>options) and restarted the computer, and it can't seem to find the infected file any more.... will set up a full scan... was a bit worried when it wouln't delete it

Thanks everyone
