hi,
in my personal computer i have recently installed windows XP home edition. when i last scanned my system yesterday using Nortan Antivirus it gave a message which said nortan has found a virus on your system.
virus name: hacktool.rootkit
file infected: c:\windows\system32\win.sys
i tried to fix the virus by doing quarantine or delete, but it was not fixed since access to win.sys was denied. win.sys is used by a driver named win, while this driver is running i am neither able to delete or rename this file.i don't know how to stop this driver.
what is the intensity of harm this virus can do??
please help me.
is there any way to remove this virus manually or any tool is available on the internet which can fix this virus.
looking forward for suggestions
