    xxwwx.dll

    Hi



    My McAffee keeps popping up and saying that a file called xxwwx.dll is a
    trojan and is causing problems. I can't delete it from McAffee and if I try
    to delete it from system32 it says I don't have permission to do that. Now
    when I try to open anything using explorer.exe like My Computer or My Music
    that window immediately freezes and I have to restart or close Windows
    Explorer. Does anyone know how I can fix this explorer problem and/or how I
    can somehow get around this permission thing with xxwwx? (I am an
    Administrator) Thank you.

    Try running Diskcheck. My Computer\ C drive\properties\tools\diskchek.
    Check both boxes relating to fixing all errors.

    Reboot your computer, and tap F8 right at startup/power on, and go into Safe
    Mode.

    Re-run your Anti-virus there, to remove the trojan.
    In safe mode, windows is barely running, so, you can delete the rogue problem.
