Comment:

I have a folder that I can't delete because of this virus. I have Norton but it cannot get rid of it. I even used all the file commands in the command prompt to delete it with no luck.
The folder name is privacy_danger, just in case it rings some bells.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Greg

Try this program:

I used it now and then, and it works wonders for those kinds of things.
Edit: try to install and run it in safe mode if it doesn't work.

The folder privacy_danger appears to be difficlut to remove. At CastleCops Forum someone was asked to post HJT log (see thread below) and it successfully removed the offense folders and the badware that generated the folders (not one but several).
