Virs scanner says that "vpnpoatq" is a virus but can't remove it manually or ny the virus scanner and sybot don't see it as spyware.

I did a check on Google and other searches but came up with nothing

Anyone know what "vpnpoatq" is and how I can get rid of it if possible?

Thanks

Howdy:

So where does your av program say it is located?

You need to start giving more detailed info with your questions if you expect any help!

C:\windows

Make sure the option to "view hidden files" is enables in Control Panel>Folder Options>Advanced..

Now, do a search for the file and delete it when it is found..

Hi,
The pathway another expert gave you to "show all files" does not exist for Win98SE.

Try this:
Go to Start/Programs/Windows Explorer.
Then, at the top, click on View, then click on Folder Options.
In that window, click on the View tab at top.
Left click (put a check mark by) "Show all Files".
Click on Apply, then OK.
Close Windows Explorer.
Then, go to Start/Find/Files or Folders.
In the space, type in the name, then click on Find Next.
Delete the file.
Best of luck,
fredg
PS; You might have to put an * before and after the name, if you don't know the extension, like .exe , etc.
