Re: Can I delete a file that is in use

I have a malocious file called
sdra64.exe

it's in my appdata\roaming folder

I can't delete it because it isays it s in use by another program

How can I set it up so that it is deleted somehow?

Thanks

Don't know what system you are running, but you should be able to delete the
file (or better, rename it) using your install disk if you have one. The
procedure is different depending on the system.

Hello Michelle,

Restart the computer into Safe Mode to then eradicate the pest

Safe mode prevents some, but by no means all--spyware services from running.
It is an excellent way to get started if something is resistant to cleaning
in normal mode, but it may not be all that is needed.

In Safe mode try to remove it with CCleaner

<http://www.ccleaner.com>
Note, uncheck Yahoos Toolbar

Download the basic version via
<http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>
The basic version does not contain the disgusted Toolbar


Good luck
