Hi,
i cannot delete a strange file in (c
. it is named as sp. type:application file. attribute: archive.
i am not able to open it.
created date: jun01 2004. while trying to delete it error displays:" cannot delete file. make sure the disk is not full or the file is not currently in use".
since from jun01, my internet browser is not working properly.
hyperlink attribute is seen for so many words while online.
when i click the hyperlink it is getting connected to a advertisement search engine.
whenever i open a website, an advertisement server page is also additionally loaded. this aborts many internet operations.
Try this method to delete the file, open notepad and save a file with
the same name and extension as the troublesome file to the same
folder, in effect overwriting it.
Then try to delete the file you created and named as the other file.
You need to perform a spyware scan using ad-aware and spybot, as well
as CWShredder, for your other problem.

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.
Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.
Ad-aware

Spybot S&D

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.
Hope this helps.
