Title: what is pagefile.sys will not open during virus scan Post by: Katherine on 16.08.07, 20:03:02 I've been working for days, cleaning trojans off my pc. My last report came back clean with the exception of 1 warning...pagefile.sys could not be opened..in use by another program. Is this normal, or something I should be concerned about? Please help
