Get rid of them, and do a find-files for other things created around the same time or thereafter. It might be easier to boot another OS, or pull the drive and mount it from another system to scan and be rid of everything, many modern viri will reproduce, monitor the files and make active process killing and deletion futile. After you get the drive seemingly clean, put it back in the original system or boot original OS to safe mode and then scan it again. |
