252513 2004-07-15 07:53:00 Hi,
A virus, AdClicker-B, has attached itself to a system file in C:\_RESTORE\TEMP and nothing I do can get rid of it. It does not seem to be a very important file (.CPY) and it is a few months old but I cannot delete it.
I am using Windows ME and virus checker McAfee.
Can I change it from a system file to an ordinary one or do you have a better suggestion?

252514 2004-07-15 07:56:00 you will have to turn off "system restore"

i think you look in the properties of my computer and then on one of the tabs.

turn off system restore and the remove the file, empty the recycle bin then turn system restore back on.

good luck

252516 2004-07-15 13:32:00 I don't know if System Restore works the same in ME as XP but just by turning it off you end up deleting all the files. Turn it off do a restart and then turn it back on. mikebartnz (21)
