    You can repare this by using Norton Antivirus with its Virus Definitions Updated to April 11th, 2001 (if newer, better)
    This virus replies to all unread messages in your email message folders and drops a backdoor Trojan. BE CAREFULL with this last issue.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Virus problem

Someone sent a mail through the forum last week infected with "i-worm badtrans" I run kapersky and mcaffee virusscan. Mcafee didnt even find the virus, kapersky did but couldn't clean it. Like an idiot I deleted the mail but now my deleted folder is locked I cant delete anything and cant empty the deleted items folder in outlook express, or through windows explorer. As the machine is windows 2000 professional a dos boot disk is out of the question anyone got any ideas ????
 
I would prefer a way that didn't involve rebooting if possible as I run a web and FTP server on the machine, but if I must then I must.
 
I can be mailed directly to avoid cluttering the forum, although as the infection was through the forum it is sort of related.
 
 
Any help appreciated
