SecThought.E virus please help

I 've got the SecThought.E - picked up by AVG - on my computer- I'm using windows 98 and cannot go back to a restore point - I emptied my temp file at the moment AVG says it cannot open the C:/Recycled file to check and find no virus on my computer. Please help me. Can I download another file from the installation disk I tried but don't know how. Help..... pleasssssse ........

 

Hi Christa Le Roux,

What is the file name and path that AVG is finding the virus?

Regards,
Kent

 

Thanks for replying so soon Kent

The file name C:\RECYCLED\DC8\AO-_N1_

Thanking you
Christa

 

Hi

The bin's allready empty AVG says it can't open that spesific file to check - I unchecked hidden files but could not find a file with that name

Thanx

 

Tried this can't do it - then I went back to the recycled bin deleted something and emptied the bin now it says cannot find specified file DC8\A....... and the bin shows there's still stuff in then I deleted something else and deleted in the bin. Then it showed a empty bin - I went to AVG did a custom test on the Recyled file the same thing cannot open C:\RECYCLED\DC..........
Sorry to be a bother

 

Hi Christa Le Roux,

Reboot into DOS and use these commands:

C:
attrib -r -s -h recycled
deltree recycled

Press [Return] after each line and answer yes to any confirmation prompts.

Then boot normally and a brandnew and empty Recycle bin will be created.

Regards,

Pieter
