    can't delete what seems like a virus- how to fix?


    found a file on my admin account that shouldn't be there and seems to be a redirect virus. however, when i try to delete it, i get an "access denied" message, even though i'm the highest ranking admin on my computer and have the permissions for the virus set so that i should have complete control over it. it also says access denied in the cmd prompt shell. anyone got an idea on how to help or fix this? x

    :)

    Reboot Virus Deletion?

    Alright, so I think I have a virus that my computer isn't detecting. None of my processes seem suspiscious, but just to be safe, I'd like to re-install Vista. I have an iMac. I use a program called Boot Camp to partion the HDD so I can install/uninstall Vista on the alternate partion. If I delete the Vista partion, and reinstall Vista, will everything be deleted, including the virus? By the way, I think it could be the csrss.exe virus thing. Not really asking help to remove it, just if the above would work. Thanks *Smile can't delete what seems like a virus- how to fix? :)
