Virus and Xware Scanners doesn’t remove infection?

If your machine is ever infected by a virus of some kind, and the virus scanner you have identified it but couldn’t delete it, then the virus have attributes, so all you have to do is to clear the attributes on the virus and then delete it manually if you want, attributes can be A (archive) S (system) R (read only) H (hidden)…
Use DOS commands to clear the attribute(s) of the virus… use attrib then minus switch then the attribute type, for more help on that refer to DOS and type attrib /?
This doesn’t apply to xware all the time, sometimes xware are processes that are running, which means also scanners can’t delete them, so find there process in task manager… kill it and then find the file which is most likely in the prefetch folder under windows…
Each virus or xware is unique and the above may or may not apply.
