If you are using Windows Vista and have Trojan or other virus files that cannot be deleted, try this easy solution.
Instructions:
1. 1
Write the exact path for the location of the infected file on a piece of paper. You can get this from your virus protection software that detected the file. Chances are, if you have already tried to delete it, you know right where it.
2. 2
Turn off your computer.
3. 3
Restart your computer. As soon as it starts rebooting, press the F8 key several times. This will bring up a screen that gives you options on how to restart your computer.
4. 4
Select "Safe Mode" to restart. Hit enter.
5. 5
This will take you to a desktop screen that looks a little different than what you are used to in Vista.
6. 6
Click the Start menu in the lower left corner and select "Computer."
7. 7
This is from where you begin to follow the path to get to your infected file. Follow the path exactly as you have written it on the paper.
8. 8
When you find the file or the folder it is in, check the box to the left and press the delete key. That should do it!
9. 9
Now shut-down and restart your computer as you normally do.
Good luck.
