Possible Virus. Help! - RunUO

moemakki · 01-21-2003, 08:22 PM

I use windows ME, is there a way to Force a file to be deleted, even if it is "Being run by Windows?" I opened a file and now I can't delete it! I think it is a Virus but norton does not detect it. The file is called UOGamer.exe, if you run across it, dont download it. Any help would be appreciated.

have you tryed right click on file then delete?

I had a few files they wouldnt delete unless I did the right click delete

umm besides that hmmmm norton doesnt always pick up every virus since there is new ones almost every time you look around.

hmmmm I will try to do some research for you

i've run into this problem recently, but with a different program. if you restart and go into safe mode, you should be able to delete the file you need. that's how i deleted this file/proggy that was "being run by windows".
