Problem--Please Help

[Shiz]

I downloaded 2 files from kazaa, they appear (the icon) as a white window with a blue border (thats thickest at top, kinda like a dos window). when i open it, a black dos window opens, then closes. i CANNOT delete/move/re-name them; it tells me the program is being used by something else, and to turn it off then delete em, even tho thats not the case. my friend told me that its a "minor" virus...whatever that means. how can i delete them!? Thanks!

too true, too true.


you can try rebooting. or start, run, msconfig / startup tab, and uncheck the unknown or weird looking ones then reboot again and try deleating.

or virus program. dos might work depending on what windows you use

Wuh oh, sounds like you downloaded a virus. Try rebooting and navigating to the kazaa shared folder and deleting them that way. If it says its in use alt + ctrl + del and in task manager (under the processes tab) see if you can find it in there. If so select it and end process. I'd also scan the computer for viruses with whatever antivirus you got. Hm...yup. *runs off*

If you don't have an Antivirus program and you downloaded stuff from kazaa, i can't really feel sorry if it is a virus.
