    vyxkbs.exe virus

    Thanks for the reply. The virus is actually Downloader MSCache in the vyxkbs.exe file. How do I delete the file using the Command Prompt? It doesn't recognise the delete command. Cheers ... PP

    The problem is only with Nero Recode which is for recoding DVDs. They are going to release a 'fix' asap. The problem is not with Nero Burning Rom. :)
