Can you see that file in explorer?

If not, do this first: How to view hidden files/folders

Then download and install Unlocker
http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

Try removing it with that.

hi, I found that file in explorer and tried unlocker and it said there is nothing to unlock, so I deleted it manually. This time when I ran my norton antivirus, there were only 5 out of the 9 files left that would not delete.
the compressed files are;
exdl.exe
exul.exe
javexulm.vxd
mqexdlm.srg
msexreg.exe
are all within c:\windows\system32\netus80x.vxd and norton antivirus says they are adware threats and when I put my pointer over it, it says it's a virtual device driver..is it recommnded to manually delete these?

Copy the part in bold below into notepad and call it rembarg.reg

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Then copy the next part in blue into notepad and call it delbarg.bat


attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\system32\netus80x.vxd
del c:\windows\system32\netus80x.vxd


Reboot into safe mode and doubleclick rembarg.reg
Confirm you want to merge it with the registry.
Then doubleclick delbarg.bat

Reboot once more and do another scan.
