Unlocker : Delete anything.

Unlocker is an application which enables you to delete, move or rename files or folders that are locked by other processes. There is hardly any Computer user who never faced the following annoying message.



Unlocker is the solution.Unlocker is designed to be a very useful Windows Explorer extension allowing users with a simple right-click on a file or folder to easily get rid of error message like this.The application removes file-access restrictions that prevents a user from moving, deleting, or renaming a file.

Unlocker integrates into the Windows right-click menu.



When you click Unlocker, a dialog box is opened that shows you the processes that are currently locking the file and thereby preventing it from being deleted.




You can choose to terminate and unlock the processes, or otherwise delete the file on the next reboot.

In some cases, files cannot be accessed due to Windows file-access bugs, for which Windows informs the user the file is currently in use--even when it's not. Unlocker can effectively bypass this bug's restrictions. It unlocks or disables whatever is preventing the user to access that file.

Unlocker is very much important to remove a virus. You can't delete a virus if it is active. But with unlocker,you can easily terminate the virus process allowing you to Delete the virus file.

Process Explorer : Find out running processes of your computer.

Process Explorer is an alternative for Windows Task Manager. Actually it is much more efficient than the Task Manager. It displays all the active processes in your system. Process Explorer has some unique options like Tracing the Process handler .dlls which is essential for removing virus.

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

Process Explorer is a freeware. Its a very small program- only 1.6mb(zip file). Process Explorer need not to be installed,just extract the zip file and thats it.

Manually remove ckvo.exe virus.

Ckvo.exe (or Kxvo.exe, kcvo, xkvo) is one of the most common Virus/Trojan. When a Ckvo.exe virus gets active in a system, most likely your antivirus will not detect or delete it. Then you have to manually remove it. Don’t think manually remove ckvo is a very tough task. You have to just follow some manual removal procedures.

Start the computer in safe mode (Repeatedly press F8 during booting)

1.Now you have to enable “Show hidden Files”. BUT you can’t do it from folder options as the virus will not allow you to do so. What you have to do is editing the registry and manually enable it.


Start --> Run type regedit then press OK. The registry editor will open. Go to the following key:


HKEY_LOLCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden.


Expand Hidden and select NOHIDDEN. In the right hand pane, see if there is a value called: CheckedValue Double click on it and put 2 as its value data.

Again at the left panel select SHOWALL, look for the key: CheckedValue Double click on it and put 1 as its value data.


2. Its very important that you don’t double click on any drive now. Open My Computer and from the upper panel choose Tools>Folder Options. Then put a mark on Show Hidden Files and remove the check from Hide Protected Operating System Files.


3. In My Computer from the upper panel choose Folders. In the Left pan Expand My Computer and Click on C: In the C drive delete autorun.inf File. Again using the left panel, go to every drive and delete the autorun.inf file.


4. After that, go to Start Menu-->Search and Select All Files and Folders. Click More Advance options and check all the boxes. Then search once for each of these files


ckvo.exe, ckvo.dll, ckvo0.dll, ckvo1.dll, kava.exe, kxvo.exe, kxvo0.dll.


Delete all the files you found. Then delete them permanently from recycle bin.


5. Now Open Registry Editor again

Delete the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"Kamsoft"=C:\windows\system32\ckvo.exe


Then Go to


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\

delete all the keys starting with {--------}

Example:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\{05ef6149-5e60-11dd-8a88-0003254ecf1b}

In the above key delete {05ef6149-5e60-11dd-8a88-0003254ecf1b}


Finally turnoff the SystemRestore and turn it on again so the previous restore points will be deleted.

I think this manually removal procedure will help you get rid of the ckvo.exe virus.
