I have the virus 'Troj/Tofger-I' on my computer but it's located in the file 'doru32.dll' which is in use by the computer so my anti-virus (sophos) cant delete it.
Sophos says I need the CD to get rid of it but I'd rather not have to go ask my boss for it as he'll know I've been surfing the net rather than working.
Anyone know how I can get rid of the little bugger?
Thanx in advance

Try restarting the computer in safe mode.
