I have found a great new program that I think you all might can use. It is called Pocket Killbox. You can use it to delete unwanted files. My virus protection program detected a trojan horse but it could not delete it. I tried everything I could think of. Pocket Killbox allowed my to put the path to the file , which my virus program could provide, and then tell it to delete it. It was gone! http://www.majorgeeks.com/Pocket_KillBox_d4709.html

Everyone check it out just be careful not to delete something that you need!

THe whole major geeks.com web page has some interesting and helpful tools. Norton kept telling me that I had a Trojan horse in a folder called RECYCLER. Even when I told it to look in hidden files and folders, I could not pull up a folder called RECYCLER. After doing a little research, I found out that the RECYCLER folder was one created by Norton to place deleted files. Why was Noton telling me about a virus in one of its own files? I don't know. Why couldn't Norton delete a file in a folder it had created? Still got me there too. All I know is that Kill Box got rid of it for me finally. My advice to all users is this; never download Kazaa, it is FULL of spyware and such, stick to LimeWire. Also, never ever download free screen savers. Not unless you like pop ups and spyware.
