I’ve got vista installed and 3 files that are virus like and are hidden. I can see them when i boot my pc from live cd puppy linux When i double clicked those files and chose delete>quite they were gone. However when I tried to shutdown my pc it asked if i want to save it, i chose i dont because i used live cd , when i run vista again I saw those files i deleted are there again !
Any help?
Hello;
My guess is that the problem is that the files are being written (probably by some other program that is well hidden). If that is the case it doesn’t matter how you erase them with they will always go back.
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more help,
Bill

Yes, you can, you need to clean the Trash before to reboot your machine. You can to delete files using the Terminal (or Console) too, with command line, enter in the windows vista installed disk with the Terminal and tip the full path to files you want to delete. But atention, take care with this, it is not possible to recover the files once deleted.
The comand line is:
rm -rf /path to virus file
If you have a doubt, send me a private message, ok?

I have to second Bill’s response. If they are coming back then it is likely that some other program is creating the files.
