Hi,

I have just installed McAffe on my computer and when i restarted, McAffe popped up with a notice saying that the file 'Mcdetect.exe is infected by the New Win32 vrus and cannot be cleaned'.

I cannot open most of my programmes - when I do it comes up with a notice saying ' Windows cannot access the specifie devie, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to acess the item.'

I also cannot run the application 'HijackThis' which I extracted from a friends computer onto a USB memory stick.

Please help me! I don't know how to get rid of this, short of formating my computer.

Many many many thanks,
Bron.
