Title: TWO QUESTIONS... one about a stubborn virus
Post by: utzchips on June 03, 2004, 01:37:13 AM
1) When I installed the home version, I was asked for a registration number ... I didn't have one, and I clicked "Demo." The program will expire in 60 days. I understand the company provides a registration number... is it too late to get this?

2) The program found the following viruses:

c:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS457.CAB
c:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS442.CAB

The c:\_RESTORE folder is not seen when I open up "C."

When I tried to delete, I wasn't able to. I then tried to rename/move, but I believe I was disallowed in doing so as well.

How do I get rid of these?

Thank you.

Thank you Technical and WhoCares... you are gentlemen (assuming you possess Y chromosomes), and I appreciate your answers.
