    eeek! cant delete virus!

    I did a full system scan the other day with norton antivirus and it came up with something called an Adaware.HungryHands. The name of the file is called neti.dll, and its in the windows folder. Norton says there was an error deleting it, and when I try deleting it says the file is in use. Also theres no processes running that are called neti.dll, or even look similar to it. Does anyone know a way i could delete before it starts running?

    Boot into DOS and delete it. Or, start up from another HD if you have one.

        Boot into safemode, then kill it.

            Don't forget to turn off system restore if your cleaning it through an anti-virus.
