or can you use the command prompt to delete it

[fatmat8]

could you please explain the "command" prompt defiant
using simple phrases please

Click start>>run then type in "command" or "cmd" (without the inverted commas).

This brings up the command screen, not sure where Defiant is going with this though: I'd recommend what Kronas says really.

Go to the AVG site and ASK for help.Check their faq's first.With AVG,I've in the past had to go into DOS to remove a virus.Better still get a better AV scanner even if you have to buy one.

Incog.

thank for your very prompt replies , i will try once more

Are you sure this infected file isn't in your system restore file and therefor being replaced as soon as you are deleting it? A similar trojan found on a pc I use deleted properly first time. What information is AVG giving as to the location of the infected file?

silly me , should have said i'm running 98se which doesn't have a restore point

avg has "downloader.agent t" in it's virus vault , which i have released , disabled avg , and then i ran trojan scan which is not picking it up.also ran "swatit" , "stinger" all of these programs doesn't see the swine but only avg seems to pick it up.

does this apply to you ?

MoneyTree/NSLite: installs nslite.dll and nslite.inf in the Downloaded Program Files folder.

Removal Open the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder (which can be found in the Windows folder), and delete the entry for 'NSUpdateLiteCtrl Class' (NSUpdate variant), 'NSLiteUpdateCtrl Class' (NSLitevariant), 'MoneyTree Dialer' (UniDist variant), 'MultiDist' (MultiDist variant), or 'Software Update Manager' (DyFuCA variant).
