Reboot your PC into a PURE dos environment using the recovery console (F8 while the PC is booting)

log onto c:\

the next command lines below can be copied and pasted into a spiffy batch file which will pretty much nuke several different viruses out there

In the first command line, replace the word "owner" with the username who'se temp files need to be deleted (and gotta do that with every user on the PC

attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\documents and settings\owner\local settings\tmp\*.*

CD .. (do that till you get back behind the first owner's directory

CD (next owner's directory)

again point to the temp files

Once that is done for all owners, again browse to the temp directory for each owner, and then

del *.* (for each of them, that will delete everything in the temp files, including the virus, which usually stores those unremovable files that are always "in use by another user or program")

that'll get you back to a point that most antivirus programs can delete the remnants and fix registries. For the more advanced and the more patient, do the same cycle of processes and commands to empty the temporary internet files

c:\windows\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temporary internet files

del *.* YOU will be pleasantly surprised to find that after that maneuver, antivirus is a lot more effective at removing viruses, and especially Trojan horses.f
