Doeswn't your AV site give you any hints as to what else you have to
do? Btiein.dll is a part of Huntbar. Try these: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/HuntBar.html http://www.pchell.com/support/huntbar.shtml http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/H/HuntBar.asp Download Huntbar killer: http://mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/hbkill.exe ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.apps, "DRIK" wrote: A virus was found in this file but I can't delete it because it is telling me that it is being used by windows.

Hi,
The system is infected with HuntBar pest. Here's some information on it and removal instructions. http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/h/huntbar.asp Before trying to remove it manually, I would suggest running Ad-aware. Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely. After installing Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several times to clear them all. Here are a couple more removal tools to use also. CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html Download Link: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ SpywareBlaster: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage. If the above fails, go to The Parasite Fight page and run HijackThis after reading the warnings and instructions. http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm For more information.
