28524 2001-12-25 05:47:00 We had a chinese student stay with us & we installed CStar a chinese translator programme which we have removed (i hope fully) however the student also installed a programme called Tencent & or qq a chinese version of icq, which also installed a virus called js exeception.exe which is a worm that changes your web page to theirs in this case a soft porn page.

I have deleted these files & also the virus via Norton but on my start menu & desktop qq shortcut files remain & i cant delete them it says 'cant delete file, file system error (1026)'
Also the Tencent file is there also & i cant delete that fully as it comes up with message 'Cannot delete _ 1/2 ((a file name within Tencent i think associated to the qq)) cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path & file name'.
I have tried the find the comand & it leads me back to the same file
How can i get it compltely removed.
Also when right click on a web page i get the list of files etc & on it under the topic search using Coppernic is a file that is AiAaODu043/4 but as in chinese i think & if i click on it i get the virus warning or did once dont wish to try it again in case it installs it again even tho it seems i removedit. How do i remove this off that menu.
Thanks
Trevor

Hopefully that works

Merry Xmas... Happy New Year

There are several very good, Freeware options available.

In no particular order - here are my favourites:

* http://www.jv16.org/

[this utility has my preferred interface]

* www.toniarts.com

[this utility does a more exacting search]

Maybe start with the first one, learn how it works and Apply.

I expect it might solve your problem.

Cheers!!!

thanks for your sugestions.
Apologies for sounding Dumb but i cant remember how to do the DOS thing. I restarted PC in DoS mode then did the DIR command & of course whole screen flashed by cant remember how to view page by page
I did dwnload your other sugestion & it seems great but hasnt worked
I am unsure if the files are still there but there shortcuts are which i can t remove from the desktop as it says it cant delter system error (1026)
Also a reference is also on the menu when you right click on web page which i also cant remove
