Virus

First I would move the file to some other location.

 

Then I'd alt+ctrl+delete and close any open programs I don't recognize. Then I'd try to delete the file.

 

If that doesn't work, try telling your anti-virus software to run the next time you restart, so that it scan before any programs are open, as there might be a little program that comes with the virus file, that when open prevents you from deleting it.

Well I tried to move the files to a seperate location but it says that access is denied. THe source file may be in use. The files by the way are in c:\_RESTORE\TEMP and they are .cpy files. (2 of them are infected apparently)

 

Then I'd alt+ctrl+delete and close any open programs I don't recognize. Then I'd try to delete the file.

 

Didn't notice anything weird here, and I'm pretty picky about what programs I let run when I start up.

Couldn't find that option using my virus program.

 

Thanks for the help by the way Spiff. Although it hasn't helped it's still appreciated.
