Please help me. I have a virus named w95.cih on my computer. It has been removed but is still in one of my Windows Restore files. I am running Win ME. The problem is Norton Antivirus cannot delete these files because they are write protected. The folder is named _RESTORE but win explorer cannot see it. I can only see it through Norton when I scan certain folders. Anyone any ideas on what I could do. Help would be much appreciated:mad: :mad:

You can either do as the instructions by mc2phat, or, create a new restore point and don't restore before that point. In a few days the file will dump out of your system anyway.
