Files got VIRUS but not healed
-
I did (1)Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Show your system hidden files.
(1) My Computer, Tools, Folder Options. Select View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files and folders. Click OK.
(2) Open My Computer again. Find the files that are infected with viruses and delete it away.
then when i come to (2), i go to start, and search, correct?
but i still cannot find the files.... -
see my above post..Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Find those files manually and delete. By right, files that are quarantined or cannot be deleted will be there.
Then scan again. -
(1) so the virus can stay in the computer without causing harm?Originally posted by Gordonator:i agree on this one. if u can't remove it by whatever means, don't wanna reformat it, don't wanna waste money ask for professional help. i suggest u just leave it there, as long as your computer can still be use.
(2) we dun mind asking for professional help, any recommendation? -
The 3 files you posted earlier no longer there?Originally posted by TehJarVu:I did (1)

Most Java related viruses are harmless as long as they are quarantined. They don't do much harm, antivirus can't delete them because they are in zip folders.Originally posted by TehJarVu:(1) so the virus can stay in the computer without causing harm?

when i scan, it says 3 viruses found.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The 3 files you posted earlier no longer there?
so shd be there but i can't find them manually... my method is correct right? ie. start and search? -
depends on what virus it is. if u can still use your computer for whatever things u do, like surf webs, play games etc etc. just leave the virus there loh.Originally posted by TehJarVu:(1) so the virus can stay in the computer without causing harm?

if already infested, don't think even the technician can do anything other than to reformat it. -
Yup.Originally posted by TehJarVu:when i scan, it says 3 viruses found.

there is only 1 virus in the virus vault, and 3 others not in the vault (because the scanning says 3 viruses found), so are they not quarantined? will they cause harm?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Most Java related viruses are harmless as long as they are quarantined.

Most likely they are not. Try searching for these files. If they exist, delete them.Originally posted by TehJarVu:there is only 1 virus in the virus vault, and 3 others not in the vault (because the scanning says 3 viruses found), so are they not quarantined? will they cause harm? -
