jerbaby78 · October 8th, 2002, 08:10 PM

just tried to dl simpsons background pictures from kazaa. got a few and now i have a problem with two of them.

when i tried to open them kazaa locks up. actually my whole pc locks up saying that kazaa is not responding.

i ran system suite. found nothing..ran scan from housecall..nothing found.

tried to uninstall kazaa assuming i would delete the virus. wont let me do it saying it doesnt know where these two files are from.

when i right click on these files i dont get a delete option.

any other way i can delete these files?

please help

Try it in safe mode.
Do you have ad-aware to scan with?
If house call is clean why do you think you have a virus?

If anything, it'll clean the other crap off your comp. Be careful tho, Kaazaa regular needs a certain file before running.
