taskdir.exe will not remove

[Dusty1969]

I have tried spybot, ad-aware, security task manager, and none of them will work to remove this program. I also tried going to a command prompt to get rid of it manually and access is denied... it is in my winn1\system32\dirtask.exe i also tried to download hijackthis to do a log and it would not allow me to do that.. i am running windows 2000 pro. any advise?

Please click here (http://forums.security-central.us/showthread.php?t=112)for instructions on how to set up a HijackThis folder.

When the program launches, hit the "Scan and save log" button
Press that, and save the log anywhere you like.

Now if you doubleclick the log file.Go to Edit > Select all, then to Edit > copy.
Now you've copied the entire text to the Windows Clipboard

Next, go back to this forum thread, and click "Add Reply".
In an empty area click your RIGHT mouse button, and choose 'Paste' from the context menu.
There's your Hijack This log.

If hijackthis does not run rename the file "HijackThis.exe" to "malware.exe"

Then try to run it.
