Hi everyone,
Recently I had the nasty b.exe virus / malware that's been going around. It stopped all malware and virus scanners (closed them down after a couple of seconds then made them completely un-runnable thereafter)
This happened to Search and Destroy.
After uninstalling S&D and a few otehr apps and finally getting rid of the virus - I hope - with Spyware Doctor (PCTools) I now want to reinstall S&D but the old install folder is there and I cannot delete it. Its empty as far as I can tell, but even running as administrator (vista home) I cannot delete it. I noticed that if I remove the read-only flag, it turns back on right after I apply.
How can I delete these folders and is it possible I have something else on the system still? I'm currently running an scan with Trend Micro to see if anything else is found.
Thanks!
