shoch,

Just seen them here. Most of those are either in your system restore folder, or in a temporary folder. By flushing your system restores points and running "Disk Cleanup" we should be able to remove most of them.

Here are a few of the names of the viruses detected: TROJ SWIZZOR.AI        C:/_Restore/Temp/CAMPTH~1.0 BKDR RULEDOR.E      C:/_Restore/Temp/A0000618 TROJ REVOP.D            C:/_Restore/Temp/A0005358 TROJ DLOAD.A            C:/WINDOWS/Temporary Internet TROJ DYFUCA.BX      C:/WINDOWS/Temporary Internet TROJ SWIZZOR AE.    C:/_RESTORE/ ARCHIVE/FS25.C BKDR RULEDOR.E      C:/RESTORE/TEMP/CSV5PO86.0 TROJ DYFUCA.BX        C:/WINDOWS/nem216.dll   The program is still running...so I thought this would help.

Can I delete these on the Housecall site--or should I just run DISk cleanup utility from my start program--or should I do both!!!??  Sorry to be a nuisance!

shoch,   First, reboot into 'Safe Mode', then try running 'Disk Cleanup'; check(tick) everything and allow it to remove whatever it can. When it's done, try running HouseCall again, and post back the results.   Mike.
