Just do this and it will delete virus automatically.

It's well known that if you disable the System Restore under Windows Me and restart the service again, you will delete that old files that were locked by Windows itself...  8)

Thanks Rej for your advice. I did it and everything is fine!

Thanks for the reply from the Technical end.  It may be well known in the computer/software arenas but I know little or nothing about the inner workings of software so any and all help is appreciated.
