    Can't Delete a File!

    I was hoping to have to uninstall and reinstall explorer.exe. Somehow, the file was made invisible to the system. How is this? I finally found a workaround. I moved all the files I wanted to keep out of the folder and then deleted the entire folder from the command prompt. This seems to have...

    Missing hard drive space

    Try running AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com It is a freeware download (for personal use). You may have gotten infected by "Brilliant Digital". This crap installs itself in your computer and the company sells HDD Space and System Resources. Good Luck!

    Can't Delete a File!

    If this is a recurring problem with .AVI files, someone needs to start looking at the size of the files before they are deleted. This is nothing accidental as the size of the file has grown from about 12MB to 28GB. It loooks like it copied a lot of my HD to itself. This is some form of...

    Can't Delete a File!

    Well, thanks for the effort, but the results are the same. Even in safe mode, it is tied into explorer.exe. Trying to delete it through the command prompt in safe mode says it can't find the file. Any other attempt to delete it starts the same system resource hogging. Any other ideas? All Help...

    Can't Delete a File!

    Received an .avi clip (I know, I know), I didn't open it until after a v-scan. When showed ok, I viewed it and immediately, it started using up all my system resources through explorer.exe. It tied itself there and then sysmon.exe began attempting to access the internet. As soon as I block it...
