Some files can't/shouldn't be deleted. Are you referring to any specific files?

Is some troj that attached itself to the com. I manage to delete that away. But every time I restart my computer, the trendmicro will catch something call 'troj_tl.a ' that I have deleted and clean before. Any ideas how to get rid of it? Thx.

Even if you remove an infected file it doesn't mean your PC is "clean": Most malware these days creates secret backups that reload if their master files are deleted. Spyware and AVS programs have scripts to detect and remove most hidden infections; some malware has to be removed manually using advice from pros who've done it before. In rare cases the only solution is to reformat, repartition, and reload your hard drive from secure backups.
