Need computer help

I keep getting two "back door" viruses...one is a BDI trojan and the other is "aqadcup". I am getting messages several times as day that McAfee keeps finding them. Then I run my scan program and there are 7 files that it finds that it is unable to delete, clean , or quarantine. Can anyone help me?????
Thanks

Liz, go to McAfee's site and follow their instructions for removing each, one at a time.
You can PM me it you have any problems or questions.

Hi
Are you using windows xp?
If so, you should restart in safe mode and try to remove then.
Hope this helps.
Ronny.

Windows XP. Go to start>programs>accessories>system tools>System Restore; and disable system restore. You'll get a warning, but ignor it.
Then download this stinger removal tool from here:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
After you run that program; re-enable system restore.
I believe this should do it.

Lizzie2,
I don't know what operating system you have, if its XP you can rid yourself of those adware programs by starting your computer in Safe Mode) (Hit the F-8 key while the boot up process runs, then choose "Safe Mode"
Run your McAfee scan then delete the files, for some reason you will be able to remove them in this manner,
The OS wont recognise that they are write protected and allow deletion. it kind of technical but Try this, only works for XP though! Pappy
Only in safe Mode!

Hya Carrie,
First...disable System Restore...then go here and download the free trial version of Trojan Hunter. I have used a bunch of these proggies and this is a good one...not perfect..but good.
After installation update the defs and run the program in Safe Mode.....re-boot...re-enable System Restore and run the scanner again.
Let me know if this doesn’t kill it.........
Safe Surfing,
Mark
