a friends computer has a worm which HijackThis picked up , but we cant delete it because it hides the main virus folder from view.

( wuamdrg.exe is one of the extensions )

I deleted 15 other virus files using HijackThis , but the system reinfects itself after every scan.

The folder C:Windows/system32/wuamdrg.exe shows up in Hijackthis scan , but can not be found on the C. drive ( not visible ) , so i cant delete it.

what is the best tool to delete this worm ?

got urgent work to finish a major work assignment.

thankyou kindly for any help

Make sure "Show Hidden Files" is checked and also uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files"... this should make every single file visible on the hard drive.

(Except those that use Rootkits, perhaps)
