CA not cleaning Virus

amazicard · 07-15-2008, 05:14 AM

After the CA scan of my computer, the scan shows my computer is infected by The virus : Java/SillyDl.EAU. The scan did not clean the virus. Could you help?

Download AVG Free from here: http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe

Install, reboot, run a scan, and it should take care of it for you.

@ amazicard -

If the CA you're referring to is an AntiVirus application, then following Nitrus' suggestion would be a bad idea. It's not good to have more than one AntiVirus application installed at one time. It can cause system conflicts, slowdowns, crashes and hangs.

Did CA give an exact location for this find?

If you need more detailed assistance...please see this sticky topic:
