And next time, use protection.

Zonealarm will prevent drive-by downloading, one of the common ways that gator and its like infests a PC. Its a software firewall program that has a free verion anyone can download. I paid for Zonealarm Pro I liked it so much.

I use Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware after my recent encounter. They make my life much easier between them, and the only downside has been the periodic pop-up from Spybot S&D saying, "Hey, you're about to download some nasty stuff. Block it?".

And the default is yes... gotta love it.

Harssenfeegenblorgenderfers....

Okay, just got a new laptop today, and figured I'd try to start it off right. It had one mean-and-nasty that Ad-Aware found, and four that Spybot S&D found... nuked, lemmetellya!

And for kicks, I rechecked my main PC, and found that some 47 other critters had re-established residency on it! Including the one that got me riled a month ago... so they're now all gone again.

Good news is I found a setting in Spybot that lets me automatically block everything, so I don't have to put up with the prompts. Gotta love it

Bottom line is to use them and to keep them up-to-date. Safe computing is the way to go... [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I think the reason you get ACCESS DENIED is because the program itself is running. End the program and you should be able to delete it from your PC.

This always happens whenever you try to remove a program which is running as a process. All you have to do is (win2k and XP) press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open Task Manager and End the annoying process. Then you should be able to delete it. Failing that, a reboot will do, unless of course it runs at startup
