I've had bad experiences with trojans before, so I have disabled all internet connections on the infected computer. I have run avast and got rid of quite a few, but one refuses to delete and continues to come with a message stating that it is being used by another process when Avast tries to delete, rename or move to vault. How can I get rid of this virus and delete the infected file?
I'm not a computer whiz, so I have NO IDEA what to do.
