i just got a partner account of a tgp where I caught a trojan 8java class load). Usually my scanner deletes the files at once, but this time it was only detected, not removed.

Now I tried to remove it manually, but I canīt delete the file because it is in use.

Any help? |bow|

make note of the file location
reboot into command line mode (f5 during the boot process, select the command line option)

cd \directory\where\the\thing\is
del filename.whatever

optionally, you can write down the file path and reboot in safe mode. Since only critical drivers are active in safe mode trojans aren't "in use" 99.5% of the time, then you can just delete it through windows explorer. Just make sure you've got explorer set to show hidden and system files.

...and make sure you have "restore points" turned off (or it might re-install)!
Also look if it's still lurking in your browser cache - to be sure empty it, your \temp directory, and the one under c:\documents and settings\[your name]\application data\sun\java\deployment\cache <<< that's where these bastards tend to nest (don't you just love Microsoft's way of hiding things?)

Also love the fact that now even well-known TGPs are spreading Trojans (happened to us last week at a site I used to trade with last year - thank God I don't anymore) -
if this trend continues it'll be the |goodnight for free porn
