HexiledRazz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 On my laptop, Bitdefender runs anti virus every night. When i woke up this morning, i noticed it had two viruses that it wouldn't delete. So, i tried moving them to quarantine. It couldn't do that either. Then i tried updating the program, then running the scan again. But Bitdefender was up to date with the latest version. I really don't want to log into RS today in case there's a chance of this thing grabbing my login name and password. So, how do i go about getting rid of these? I don't want to manually delete them, because one of them is in the WINDOWS folder, and deleting it might have adverse effects on the computer... As for people who are going to tell me to not use bitdefender, i agree. I actually have Windows total security on my desktop as bitdefender simply takes up too many resources for these ancient machines. But technically it's my dad's laptop, and he won't let me put any other sort of anti virus program on it. So, I'm stuck here. Anyone have any suggestions? Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

VARN Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You could try one of the online virus scanners or safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Could you not install MSE to see if it gets rid of them? Want to be my friend?

Sbrideau Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I believe doing the scan again in safe mode would be a good idea. One of the reasons it's not able to delete the virus might be because of the file being opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexiledRazz Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Alright, i re-ran the deep system scan and the viruses didn't turn up(Reason i re-ran the scanner was to get the locations of the viruses again). Could it be that they're somehow evading the anti virus this time around? Or could the program really had gotten rid of them and just glitched and said it didn't? :blink: I think just to be safe I'll do an online scan, and I'll do another scan in safe mode.

Guy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 TBH, I would talk to your dad and tell him that there are many other well-known - and better - AV's out there and he should use them instead.
