The virus scanner "Spyware Sweeper" found a "NMap Win 1.2.12" virus on
one of my computers at
"C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{CC550492-0747-48E4-A37C-5A2A0C815489}\NewShortcut1.exe",
but fails to quarantine or delete it, i.e. it performs the operations of
quarantining and deleting on that file, but next time when you do a
virus sweep the file is there again. This could be probably a deficiency
of "Spyware Sweeper", because I got other problems with that program, too.
Another virus scanner, "Spy Sweeper" by Webroot, however does not flag
this file as a virus.
"C:\WINDOWS\Installer" is a "hidden folder" that is not displayed when I
try to access it with Windows, but I can access it using Revolution and
also list the subfolders - among them
"{CC550492-0747-48E4-A37C-5A2A0C815489}", which contains the
"NewShortcut1.exe" file.
There are more "NewShortcut" files in the subdirectory with different
numbers including a RTF file, which however produces garbage when I try
to put it into a field using
"put URL
"file:C:/WINDOWS/Installer/{CC550492-0747-48E4-A37C-5A2A0C815489}/NewShortcut26.rtf"
into fld 1"
or
"set the rtftext of fld 1 to URL
"file:C:/WINDOWS/Installer/{CC550492-0747-48E4-A37C-5A2A0C815489}/NewShortcut26.rtf".
Replacing "file" with "binfile" does not help either, there is only
garbage in the field.
Now, trying to delete the virus file using
"delete URL
"file:C:/WINDOWS/Installer/{CC550492-0747-48E4-A37C-5A2A0C815489}/NewShortcut1.exe"
produces an error message "can' delete that file" - probably because the
file's cantdelete property or the equivalent for Windows is apparently
set to true.
How could I change this cantdelete property of the virus in Revolution
to be able to finally delete it?
Any help is appreciated.
