Run disk cleanup put a tick in temporary internet files as a well as any others you are inclined to, click on ok when its finished also clear out your java cache go to the java controll applet in control panel to do this then do a complete virus scan with your virus software |

| 714978 | 2008-10-27 07:24:00 | Okay, I've done everything you suggested. I ran Trend again and it found nothing. However, it's still reporting that file distr4[1].exe has been quarantined. Is this because it found it in an earlier scan? How do I access the quarantined file to delete it? When I try to remove it from within Trend I get the message "Unable to delete the file. Your computer may have locked the file, or you may lack sufficient privileges to access the file." Ta. | k8smum (6062) | ||
| 714979 | 2008-10-27 07:31:00 | hi has that virus checker program got a help file, sorry I never used your virus checker. If its quarantined I would think that trend is not going to let you do anything to it, thats why I suggest the help file within the virus checker app. |

| 714981 | 2008-10-27 07:49:00 | Hi There's me and two other family members who use this PC. After I restarted the PC, Trend now reports another virus found: TROJ_ADCLICKE.IB in kcntktdl.exe. I can delete it, but it comes back after each restart. Says its in WINDOW\system32 but I can't find it. And ads pop up spontaneously - one came up just now wth the header RON ads by bannerstyles 15. This is getting really annoying... |

| 714982 | 2008-10-27 08:08:00 | Install malwarebytes. Make sure it gets installed for all users. Then update it then scan |

| 714983 | 2008-10-27 08:31:00 | While you're at it, get Hijackthis from Speedys Sig, download/run and select save a log - Copy post the complete log back here. SPEEDY--- Don't have time at the moment - but when the logs posted take a look at This page (www.threatexpert.com) - the reg may need to be cleaned out further. |

| 714984 | 2008-10-27 08:36:00 | Trojan remover MAY find that. Its got Adclicker, Adclicker.C, O, (looks like these can get installed or bundled with software) And trojan.adclicker (Generic detection for a program designed to simulate clicks on website banner advertisements to increase traffic artificially in its database) If its the same thing |

| 714985 | 2008-10-28 04:17:00 | Thanks for all your help, but I think HWMBO (but only sometimes) is going to reformat the c drive - wouldn't be the first time. Cheers | k8smum (6062) | ||
