my computer has really slowed down to the point of trying
to open anything it crashes.
I think the problem is a file I have downloaded, but when
I try to delete the file I'm getting the sharing
violation message and can't delete the file.
Is the anyway I can find out which program it is running
it, then delete file?
Also I have lost all my system restore points, so can't
go back that way ( not that I think that would work
anyway.)
Any ideas?
Thanks
Vic

attempted attck earlier, Trojan (but have norton internet
security & uptodate norton anti virus) and it blocked it.
