Trojan Trouble

Comment:
My AVG virus scan tells me that this file called mspapc.dll in the system32 folder is a backdoor trojan but I can't remove it. It won't go in the virus vault either. I started up in safe mode to try to delete it, but the file was not there. I searched for it, but nothing came up. So how can I get rid of it? It's marked as a read-only file. Thanks.

Have you tried running AdAware (free download from LavaSoft) or X-Cleaner as they can be useful in removing Spyware and related trojans. Let me know if you have no joy (e-mail me if more urgent)

Hi Rachel,
If your 2k drive is FAT (not NTFS) you can boot on, for instance, a w98 startup floppy.
c: cd \winnt\system32 attrib -r mspapc.dll del mspapc.dll
*************** If it's NTFS, stronger medecine is needed. Let us know how it goes.
