Archive Trojans

robmcrock

Hey all,

My virus scan has detected four trojans which cant be deleted because they are contained in the archive.

Ive tried rebooting my comp into safe mode and running another scan, but the same result happens!

Im desperate to get rid of these, so any help would be much appreciated!

Below are the locations of the trojans

Cheers

Disable also System Restore , Control Panel > System >System Restore tab>Turn off System Restore on all drives ,restart computer then reactivate.When the trojan is removed reactivate.Use also the Disk Clean up utility to remove temporary files, like icr recomended(you can also delete them manually).

Trojans contained inside archives cannot be deleted.

One way to do it si to extract all the files from the archive, delete the ones infected, and re-compress the clean files again.

Kind regards!
