Can anyone tell me what a windows system file is?

I have a Trojan horse keeps popping up continuously in symantec quarantine so I found the file and couldn’t delete it, so I went into safe mode and deleted it, but I’ve just read a post above saying that I shouldn’t delete Windows system files! I have no idea what one is so i didn’t take it off safe mode in case my computer won’t ever start again,

It was in C/Windows and was called oyvbs.hnc
Can anyone help?
Next time I think I’ll take my laptop to someone who knows what they are doing.

My Norton Antivirus says I still have the Trojan virus, even the the Symantec removal said it removed it. Is there another way to remove the virus, it’s still there?

Found the way to get rid of Norton alerts about the virus. First of all don’t even bother with the removal tool, its a worthless piece of crap.

1. Put your computer into safe mode and find the file infected(You should be able to find which file was infected through the threat description that Norton gives you, just look through that)

2. You should be able to delete it then, once you delete it restart your computer and log in normally

3. Run a custom scan of the files that were infected, if you did everything right you should show up all clear

4. Then find unresolved security risks on Norton (its easier to find when you click on quarantined items then use the drop down menu to find it)

5. Once your there click on the icon next to the virus name and info

6. Then ignore what Norton recommends just go ahead and click on remove.

7. If everything was done right then you just fought off that virus totally free of charge, and now you got some ideas for next time something infects you.

Good luck to all of you and I hope all of us be a little more careful next time we’re on limewire.

OK. I finally got it off! yeah! apparently it was in more than one spot and so I didn’t delete it all when I did it the first time. So I just deleted it again and then emptied my trash can. It’s gone. Woke up to my daily morning scan. NO VIRUS’ found!

Hey I have same virus. Tried using my Norton Antivirus but it said I have to manually remove it, so I found the file and deleted it but every day it’s still there on my scan. That doesn’t make any sense, I deleted the file. How is it still there with the virus?

Same problem w/ Norton saying I still have (2) brisv.a and I am not paying $100 dollars to let them fix it. The removal tool says its removed and after that my computer didn’t act funny like it was before so I’m just going to take it’s word as long as its running fine. Also, I thought about deleting it through Norton (although it says its not safe to) but I think it would be okay now.

I have the same virus… I love the advice as well , but my Internet isn’t working. I know this is kind of vague, but I am connected to my wireless connection but when I open my browser it tells me that it can’t be displayed! is this related to the Trojan? sorry for grammar…I’m doing this on my phone…hence the no Internet!!
cheers

And Also, Norton 360 detects where the threat is located. It is in a music download folder, can I just delete it. Will there be any problem?
