Hello everyone,

I have a a virus that my ESET Nod32 anti virus (up to date with virus listings) detected it is called Win32/Patched.Z virus.

It was found in:
C:\Users\Bee\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp67C7.tmp - Win32/Patched.Z virus - action selection postponed until scan completion

This could not be cleaned.

However I looked at using the Trojan Remover Software and this came up with a result;

File is in-use/locked, or Access Denied-could not be scanned

Select REQUIRED Action:
1. Leave this file in place
2. Disable this file by renaming it
3. Delete this file (use with caution)
4. Exclude this file from future scans (no action will be taken on this file)

My question is-
can I delete this file (tmp67C7.tmp) or is this file important?
can I RENAME this file (tmp67C7.tmp) or is this file important?

Is there anything I can do to get this virus out?

Details of my Laptop is;

ASUS Notebook M50Vc/M50Vm Series
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz
4GB Ram
32-bit Operating System

PLease OFFER me some guidance?

Thank you in advance,
BeeTry to delete and see what will happen.Hi KingPincer

Perhaps I shall try renaming it first and if my PC crashes then i'll know i might actually need that file lol

Thanks for replying KingPincer

Does anyone ELSE have a suggestion or a recommendation?

I appreciate you taking your time to reply KingPincer, have you ever heard of a similar virus affecting a temp file? WHat happens if it was deleted completely and the file was actually needed?

I'll let you know what happens anyhow, wish me luck.
