Well first of all, I'm hoping that you abbreviated the path, because it should be more like "C:\Recycler\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzzzz-uuuu\" where uuuu is either 500 for administrator or 1001 or higher for regular user. This is the Recycle Bin, but you would have to empty the recycle bin from the user account that the file was deleted from. Maybe the file was deleted from the Administrator account, which you would need to log into the Administrator account in order to empty it from the Recycle Bin. If that fails, then you should be able to delete it using HijackThis. I hope you have some kind of Boot DVD with recovery utilities on it handy (like Hiren's). Sometimes getting rid of a virus makes your PC unbootable (especially the hard to remove viruses). If you still can't delete it, then I would suspect an active virus is to blame (probably a rootkit). -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rudy Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 3:58 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Help with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware locking up......
