Ad Aware

[neil]

My Norton 2004 thingy highlights two Ad Aware viruses but does not delete them. I cannot track them down manually , even with the path.

"
The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\lstb4drc.exe is a Adware threat.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msbb.exe
Description: The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\msbb.exe is a Adware threat. "

Any ideas how to delete them?

Cheers

2 things to try first if you have not already.
1. In file and folder options make sure you are set to "show hidden files and folders" then try to find them.
2. Turn off system restore and then try to delete again

Spybot - Search and Destroy is very good at that sort of thing.
