I have hard this problem for several months but have lived with it but now I
have an important excel file that I cannot access. Whenever I move (via
cut/paste) a file from one place (desktop) to a new folder (on the desktop),
it is no longer available to open, delete, copy....anything! This has also
happened moving a file from other areas such as QuickBooks to a folder in My
Documents. It doesn't seem to matter what type of file or which program
created it, i.e. Word, Excell, Adobe, MOV. etc. I have tried taking over
ownership, signing on as Adminstrator, nothing works. I sure could use some
help. Any ideas?
 
Hi ... See if this will help , it sure can’t hurt any ways … First thing you
should do is download hijackthis and have someone to view your log , here

Now if you have an Anti-Virus Program which is fairly new ( mostly under a
year )and you are sure that you are still recieving update definitions ?
Then update yours now ....
Then afterward download a few programs , Like these here below

first one is Ad aware ( free Version )

Start up this program , What you need to get is the most latest update for
it ,run JUST the "updated" option and afterward close the program for later
use ...

Next program >> Spybot Search and Destroy ( Free )

Next Program >> SpywareBlaster ( Free )

Next Mcafee Stinger

Okay now perform this operation from this website below and just turn it off
for now ONLY

Okay this is next to perform below :

Options. Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and
folders. Uncheck the Hide protected
operating system files (recommended) option. Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WARNING POP UP WINDOW THIS IS NORMAL , just click yes

Now its time to start your computer in Safe Mode
How to start up in safe mode , there is 2 ways in doing so , just choice one

Okay once in safe mode do the following : Clear out the Temporary internet
files and other temp files.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies ... Now close

Now start up Mcafee Stinger and afterward Ad Aware and just basically
perform the options its set at for now ... And remove whatever it finds ...
Start spybor search and destory and do the same with this program
Also with the spyware blaster , just clean what it finds ....

Now use your Anti - Virus Program and run it and see what it finds ...If
your anti-virus finds anything try the repair option first, if that can't be
done then delete the file...
Now restart your computer back to normal mode and reset the setting back
