There's a virus on my computer that won't let me scan for viruses!? When I open my virus scanner it immediately closes and says "Application cannot be executed. The fileufnavi.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" I have no idea what to do!

When you are disabled from running anti-spyware, use a flash drive for scanning. Before that download anti-spyware to another (clean) PC, install it, update the virus database. Now you should copy the program to your flash drive and then put it into the infected PC for a full system scan. If it disables the program as well, rename its executive process and try running a scan one more time. You can try Spyware Doctor alternatively, it has helped for me several times, just google the Web. Answered by Slavin 1 month ago
