thumbs db file

[Guest]

I have a file that appeared with a download of video that I cannot delete! It
appears in the my videos folder and also in the downloads and settings
folder. I'm not sure that it is a harmful file but there are pornographic
references in the file and I would like to get rid of it. After deleting it
to the recycle bin and emptying bin it always reappears. I have tried safe
mode to delete it and ran virus protection in safe mode to no avail ( I am
running windows xp home ). I would like any info on how to delete that file
from said folders. Also if anyone has any ideas on what " shellcon hidden
window is I would appreciate it.
thanks
