Comment: I am NOT a computer savy guy. I have Norton SystemWorks (with Antivirus). IT found several related viruses. One is belt.exe, but there are others
that all appear to be related
(biprep.exe, bi.dll, belt.cab, etc). Will the SAFE MODE delete files method work for all of these? How can I be sure they are safe files to delete? Is there some freeware you could recommend to make this process easier for me? Thank you so much, Jerry jaybolnick@yahoo.com

Reply: (edit)Hi Jerry, 2 things to start with;
Download Ad-Aware and update it.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ From lavasoft faqs.
Use the Custom Scan with Memory and Both registry scans ON for your first scan.
I keep it at that setting. Also.... make sure that you activate IN-DEPTH scanning before you proceed.
Actually you should always use IN-DEPTH scanning whichever mode you choose.
This will be made a default setting in Ad-aware 6.2 when released. Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Next...
Run Ad-aware 6. Free online scan, remove what it finds.
