Greetings:

I have a file located in the Recycle Bin that can't be deleted. The file
was removed from the Temporary Internet Files Folder by Trend Micro
Housecall as it appeared to contain a trojan (235003.exe).

When I try to delete the file I get the error message ""Cannot delete
search[1]: cannot find specified file" search[1] is a file within random
lettered a folder that was deleted from the Temporary Internet
Files folder by Trend Micro Housecall (think it contained a trojan).

I've phoned the Microsoft helpcentre (a bit of a misnomer!) who advised a
complete reinstall of Windows XP to correct the problem (with the subsequent
loss of all my files and recently downloaded software/programmes!)

Any advice for a not particularly computer savvy person much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
