Need to remove virus files
Hi Folks I was dearly hoping for some clever advice please. Someone has hacked (?) my system. This has effectively locked me out of my PC with a dummy screen demanding £££ to open. The offending files are in c:\windows\system32\config. I can open the directory from the dos prompt. I cant use cmd line or access any other windows tools. I have tried deleting the files using dos commands (erase), thatnk heavens for old DOS experience, but I get an error message that says cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Clearly I can trace the guilt files using dates but is there any way I can fix this?
