    Ok I have Synamatic Anti Virus. And I keep getting this warning that its found a Downloader Trojan. So i look at it and it says,
    so i check out where the virus is, C:\WINDOWS so i go and take a look and again this warning comes up, so i click on it and yet again the warning comes up, I try to delete it and says

    Cannot Delete: Access Denied

    Make Sure the Disk Is Not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Anyone know what to do.

    The actual warning it comes up with is

    Threat: Downloader.Trojan

    Have you tried forcing Norton to delete the file?

    Have you tried to boot up in safe mode and deleting it? Personally I hate norton. It's a system hog. Try the free AVG Anti-Virus. Or Avast! Good luck.

    Here is what you can do if you know the location of the trojan.

    Rename it, then cut & paste on another drive then you can delete it.

    You can try:
    1. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
    2. Update the virus definitions.
    3. Restart the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode.
    4. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Downloader.Trojan.
    5. Edit the registry and look for references to the Trojan.

    or check this:

    I've easily gotten rid of browser hijackers on multiple computers by downloading the trial of Webroot Spy Sweeper.

    wow lol where did you go? yu have alot of crap on your computer.... i would clean your computer and get zone alarm(the free one) then get avast, Ad-ware SE personal, spybot search and destroy and scan weekly with those.....(what i do and i never have problems like that, recommend by pc mag.) and scan every zip file(ALWAYS SCAN ZIP FILES FOR VIRUSES!) you download and every wma and other files that you download that could have possible atchements if you get a vid off a non trusted site.
