Windows 7 RC 32 bit installed with the default settings.
Question: Does Windows 7 deny access to system files?
Example: A system file located here: "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\".
The reason I ask is that I ran into and have quarantined a "suspect" malware file. I could not upload it to Virustotal and I could not make an archive of the file. I was denied file access in both cases. I booted up with a Puppy Linux Live CD and both uploaded the file to Virustotal (21/41 Positives) and made a ZIP archive. After that I rebooted to Windows and quarantined the "suspect" file with F-Prot.
Thanks in Advance.
