    Virus Macro.Word.Cap

    Locked

    by torhd ·

    My virus checker informs me that Mail “Folder11.mbx” has an infested e-mail.
    I have deleted the mail message and the folder from OutlookExpress. But when trying to delete the folder from my system I receive a message “ACCESS DENIED”, this folder can not be deleted.
    What do I do?

      Sounds like the file has been marked “read only”
      try changing the attributes of the file – It can be done from dos with the attrib command.
      If you need help with the syntax, “type attrib /?” for help

        I am not particularly good at DOS [15 years since I last used it] – so I am still stuck. Do I booth the PC under DOS ?? How do I identify the file ? How do I change the attribute ?
