virus? corrupted file?
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.
