Comment:

Like an idiot I downloaded a program from a P2P that was supposed to be old Atari Games, Games.exe.

Upon executing the program, it tried to contact an outside site. My Tiny Personal Firewall program caught it, so I denied access to the web.

I had run a scan with Norton with current definitions and it said everything was fine bit I guess it wasn't.

Now if I try to delete the program it tells me that it can't because windows is using the program. I tried deleting from DOS and it said access was denied.

I have tried a couple of other anti virus programs and they will not load up for some reason or they find nothing wrong.

McAfee will not install unless I take off my firewall, but if I do that then the program will be able to contact the outside site which I assume will then load in a trojan.

HELP!!!!!!

Thanks for the help. I did another Pandasoft Online scan and this time it got rid of both viruses. So i junked norton and I will be paying for Panda when the evaluation period ends.

The games.exe was the delf.bz and the trojan spy justin infected a windows system file. glad they are gone now.

Thanks for the startup list program and I didn't know about the config startup option. I disabled a bunch of junk that was slowing the computer.
