Hi,

I have found a trojan virus in C:\TAPICFG.EXE only I don't
know whether I can safely delete the file to clear the
virus. Please can someone who knows more than me help me
out?

many thanks.

Your A-V should delete or quarantine the virus without deleting the
file - run "CWS" Cool Web Shredder as this parasite is one of many
Cool Web Search variants.
Unzip this file: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
Hit the executable, make sure all instances of IE and O/E are closed,
follow the prompts.

Please post back with your findings or if you need further assistance.

HTH
