Unable To Delete Exploit.pdf-js.gen

NoManIsAnIsland123

BitDefender found the virus Exploit.PDF-JS.Gen on my computer.

I tried to delete it, but the delete failed. It says the file was in an archive.

I don't know how to handle this. Can anyone offer some advice? Thanks.

Here's the scan log:

Hello NoManIsAnIsland123,

Please follow the steps bellow and let us know what happens :

1. Restart the computer in Safe Mode;

2. Set your computer to display hidden objects;

3. Browse to the next locations:

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Photo Creations\graphics\ and delte the "Basketball.pdf" file.

4. Reboot your computer normally and let us know what happens .

[how to RESTART IN SAFE MODE]

- restart the computer;

- repeatedly press the "F8" key several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load (you need to press "F8" until you will be displayed a text menu);

- select "SAFE MODE" in the text menu and press "Enter".

- wait while Windows loads in Safe Mode; this process ends with a confirmation message; click "Yes" to acknowledge.

[how to DISPLAY HIDDEN OBJECTS]

- go to your "Control Panel" and open "Folder Options";

- then go to the "View" tab and perform the changes listed below:

* check "Display contents of system folders"

* check "Show hidden files and folders"

* uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"

* uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"

- click "Apply" and then "OK" to exit.

NOTE: On Microsoft Windows Vista you will apply the same steps except for selecting "Display contents of system folders".

Thank you.
