:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Ok has happened to us all. Try safe mode start up delete from there?

[Silver_Dales]

ok wil;l try that, just scanning with NAV to see if that will show it up (long shot)

most of time the reason while u cant delete a file/program is because it is in use, i know this sounds too simple to work, but try closin all programs/processes that arent essential to windows, then try deletin it. I use a program called magic utillities, which is very handy, it shows u all processes that are bein run, includin hidden ones.

reboot press f8

go into command prompt only

delete manually

that&#39;s about all u can do <_<

Gee don&#39;t want to sound like speaking from experince ;) Another way is to rename file
and move to another local like my documents Then delete B)

Ok it appears to have gone.
It had changed my default home page in IE, which I changed back, and had put a short cut on my desktop, also deleted. Then I had found it in the windows folder and tried deleting it to no avail. I then tried moving it to mu DT and deleting it. It moved but wouldnt delete.. NAV didnt find it and when i went into safe mode it had gone. Did a search and nothing.
Could i now be clean I wonder?

only a prob if you say yeah to "download and run" prompts

have you checked in taskmanager to see if it maybe its running
and tryin to end the process?

i mean, its worth a shot before you go into ultra-super safe DOS mode,
re-format, change OS, throw a fit and beat the sh*t outta your HDD

yeah, i know, a little extreme huh? B)

so is safe mode and all that other BS if you haven&#39;t thoroughly checked the prob :D

sorry, missed that last post :lol:

now if youre runnin an OS with system restore, DSIABLE IT,
and reboot, then you can re-enable system restore

[100%]

if it is gone
run - registry detective (free)
search for hot kiss - and delete all refetences to it
