Argh! help me remove sccfg.sys (Folder Lock?)

Andariel · 06-11-07, 20:29

my Kaspersky Internet Security identified an object on drive C called sccfg.sys, and quarantined it. it wont let me disinfect or delete it. i look there and dont see that file. so i searched google and people say it’s a rootkit and that they believe it’s related to Folder Lock which i installed a few days ago. i uninstalled it yesterday yet the object remains. i installed AVG Anti-Rootkit yet it didnt find it. i dont know if it’s dangerous or not but i want it gone so Kaspersky doesnt detect it everytime i scan. so can someone help me delete this?

if you can locate the file on the drive you might be able to remove it from a command prompt.

Code:

attrib -r "drive/path/sccfg.sys"
del "drive/path/sccfg.sys"

if you do not know where it is located, try:

Code:

cd \
dir /s /a sccfg.sys

Note the location, and plug it in to the first two commands.
Each line of course is a different command (press enter)

Andariel, in case of future issues of that kind don't mess with attributes, better use Unlocker to kill unwanted files and folders
