.cpy extension, anyone know what it is

by bruno fonseca . Updated 23 years, 5 months ago

ok, got a Sony Vaio laptop with windows ME on it and I received an error after a download that said caution hardrive almost full etcc…. Now that is the story I got from my executive. I tried to run antivirus on it and it says there is not enough space on the disk. I tried un-installing microsoft office and a couple of other programs to make room but they all came back with errors and could not be uninstalled. Now I started it with a norton 2003 antivirus disk in it booted from the cd and is currently running a scan. I see that it found massive amounts of files in c:\_restore\temp folder and they all end with .cpy extension. Now I can bet for sure that this guy has a virus in it, I just dont want to wipe the drive and start fresh, but it looks like I will have to do that. I was wondering if anyone ever saw this and can I delete it this folder because it looks like it would free up alot of space.
