Not cleaning malware
Hey folks!
Wish I knew how it started but anyway... now McAfee pops up several times a day warnings on 3 files. Here are screen shots of the messages:
http://mudshark.com/prockill-an.jpg
http://mudshark.com/euniverse.jpg
http://mudshark.com/tightvnc.jpg
The message reads: Potentially Unwanted Program Detected.
Here are the names of the 3 files as per McAfee:
Adware-eUniverse
ProcKill-AN
RemAdm-TightVNC
All 3 files are locked files in a temp directory.
I always choose "Remove the program" and press OK
The next window that opens says: To remove these programs using the McAfee uninstaller, click OK. Or, click Cancel and then manually remove them using the vendor's uninstaller. Programs that may have been installed as a bundle or suite are about to be removed. You may have accepted a license agreement for these programs.
I always press OK.
The next window that opens says: The Potentially Unwanted Program cannot be removed. McAfee recommends that you try to remove the program using Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
I always press OK.
At any rate these programs are still hiding (?) on my PC and UI'd like to get rid of them. Any ideas?
I have Windows XPsp2 and I also do have, and use, UltraVNC. AVG does not complain about these files.
Thx much, all...

For those you want removed, do as mcafee says, remove them through control panel, add/remove programs. If they aren't listed there, reboot into safe mode and try using mcafee to remove them from there.

None of the above worked. Since System Restore was disabled too (!) I did have to reimage the pc.
