  2. Virus

    Dear sir/mam ,

    I would like to give a suggestion, we think to make a shield or protecting environment from the virus that can be not entern into the pc or laptop .Can we make a such programs to virus means if virus enter into a pc but we can give a specific folder
    or address to go there means all the virus goes into one folder because of we will make such coding the virus goes a specific folder . In these folder we can easily removed the virus or suppose these folder we are not open and virus are not enter into the
    PC or laptop and pc is also safe from virus if these folder we are not open.

    Thanks you !

    Virus?

    Kill.exe is not realy a virus. It's a windows process.

    The virus that affects Kill.exe is the ocxdll.exe Virus, that normally affects Windows NT/2000, and sometimes XP if regular uypdates are not maintained. Google that one to find the solution to your problem. OCXDLL.EXE is a self-extracting executable containing 17 files.

    To verify this is the right virus, check the Task manager looking for taskmngr.exe in the process window- (the other windows should have all hidden) taskmgr.exe is the REAL task manager.

    OPen up the start menu select "run" and type in MRT click OK - this will run the Windows Maliciouse Remover Tool and should kill the virus. More info available at Microsofr.com.
