    Ravantivirus online scan shows:

    "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\dialsympa_221.exe -

    Tool:pornDialer.IE -> Infected".

    I have verified the existence of "dialsympa_221.exe" through: run//cmd//cd

    c:\windows\downloaded program files//dir /p. However, I have been unable to

    delete "dialsympa_221.exe" including by using the following:

    run//cmd//del /?//del c:\windows\downloaded program files\*.* .

    How can I eliminate "dialsympa_221.exe."? syrk
