Virus can't be removed because it's 'write-protected'?



Can anybody tell me how I can verify that the file isn't 'write-protected'. I have McAffee anti-virus and everytime I try to delete, clean, or even quarantine this file, it won't let me.

A similar situation came up not too long ago. I went to the McAffee website and they told me I had to reboot in safe-mode. I did that and followed a few other steps. When I was almost done, they said I had to change some line of code. There were only a few lines but none of them looked like the example they gave me.

Would anyone mind telling me how I can verify that this file isn't write-protected so I can deal with this problem as well as future ones?... an easiser way if it's possible?

Thanks in advance.

    McAfee asked you to change a few lines of code? In what?? That doesn't sound quite right...

    You can check out the steps for yourself. Just search for removing a trojan horse manually... that's besides the point. Can you tell me what I can do?
