Viruses in Temp

[Gabriel]

I've just arrived home, after I've been more than one month away, and I did a virus check with AVG. I'm noticing that all my viruses are in C:/WINNT/TEMP, and AVG isn't able nor to "heal", nor to delete and nor to put the file in the virus vault.

What can I do? I tried to delete each file separately, but I can't enter the folder they're in...

but I can't enter the folder they're in...

why not? are you not using the administrator account?

 

[Gabriel]

I am.
What happens is inside the Temp folder, there are many other folders. I went to the one AVG told me the virus was, but I enter it and there's nothing inside the folder (and there should be another folder there, leading to the virus).

I have enabled the option to see hidden files/folders, but that's not helping me...

Go to safemode and run a full virus scan there. When it finds the virus the virus scanner should be able to delete it if you are in safe mode.

As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) you don't need anything in the temp folder

GO to tools in explorer and go to folder options and hit view all hidden files or folders.

Or right click Temp and delete it. there is nothing that you need there

You can't delete the temp folder, it is a system folder. But you can delete the contents
