I've done all that you have instructed and have successfully had McAfee
deleted some of the Trojan files. However, as i rebooted into windows
again, I still saw "backdoor.trojan virus found" alert by my Norton
Antivirus program.
I'm guessing that is probably because when I ran the scan in normal
mode, some of the files were in use/protected that the scanner simply
couldn't have done anything to it.
And when I ran it in safe mode, since the windows that I have which is
affected by trojan is in f: drive, by default, the scanner ran would
ONLY be scanning C:. So I got an error when I tried to run it from f:
drive in the command line.
I am guessing there must be a way to go around this. Otherwise, the
scanner is of no use if trojan existed in drive other than the default
C.
Thanks,
Dennis
