I think its a virus
There is this folder on my hdd named "82a01e8c8bf167d6e29c26" I cant delete it with my user account that has full admin rights. I try to delete it and it says this...
You'll need to provide administrator permissions to delete this folder i can choose from "continue" "skip" or "cancel" I choose continue Then it says this You need permission to perform this action "you require permission from J\KaneT to make changes tothis folder. i can select "try again" or "cancel" I am useing a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate and i have admin rights so i dont know why i cant delete it!!! I have scaned it with avg 9 and it detects nothing! Can some one please help me out so i can get rid of this strange folder/files Cheers

Re: I think its a virus
Brutus, read the OP. He said he's using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Where abouts on your hardrive is it? Have you tried running a second scan on it with a different program? Give Anti-Malware bytes a go. |

Re: I think its a virus
Do you have hidden folders and show system files/folders enabled?

Re: I think its a virus
Name your OS.XP has a syatem Restore.These are probably for that.You'll be glad when
you need it.Turn off System Files I asked this before that.I don't have an answer. Don't view hidden or sysyem files.Use Folder options to set.

Re: I think its a virus
If you can move the folder then it's most likely not a system folder that is critical for Windows operation. Boot into Safe Mode, login as the administrator and delete there.
