Answer» I have these files on my computer, and i'm prittty sure they are viruses... There are files like insidegrid and help glue cast But, I can't seem to be able to delete them.., Always when I try to, my computer tells me that the files are being used and cannot be deleted... My computer is slower than before and I think these files are causing it... I can't find the files in the ctrl+alt+del menu either... They APPEARED in the Application Data folder---> c:\documents and settings\(user)\application data\"type tick" or "default idle ref" I also used the freeware PROGRAM EasyCleaner to stop some of them from activating when I start my computer, and I even managed to delete some of them, but few of them just won't go away... PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!! Virus scanners AVG Free -- Anti virus scanner
