Solve : Can't delete files without replication!? |
|
Answer» Only problem is it appears impossible to highlight the first documentt without opening it so I can't get to the point where I'm scrolling down and HIGHLIGHTING all the docs that i want to delete! When the computer starts tap F8 several times BEFORE you get to the Windows splash screen. THat will get you into safe mode. Try all of your scans while there and then delete the files as usual. Did you do this?Hi, yes I did do this but it still didn't allow me to delete the files. Continued to get the ERROR message cannot delete file, cannot read from the source file or disk'. Did allow me to delte individually by going into docs on from the Start menu, but can only do this one doc at a time and there are tens of copies of each doc (SEE recent posts about being unable to highlight multiple docs).There are certainly issues that need to be addressed. Did you ever determine that you are free from malware? If so, how?I've scanned with MCafee and Panda. My latest McAfee scan reveals only 1 cookie. I did run Panda also (free scan) and that revealed 47 spyware but I assumed that the scan would also have removed them. I tried to buy Panda Virus scan but discovered that it was incompatible with McAfee when I tried to download it and I didn't want to remove McAfee as it provides the core of the protection for my computer(!). Hoever, I recently realised that I have been receiving pop ups WARNING of a 'potentially unauthorised registry change' which were I think to do with spyware and giving me the choice of allowing the change or blocking it. When I looked at it seemed to be from Microsoft so I allowed it. I don't think I should have done this - I scrolled to the bottom of a recent pop up and realised that McAfee were advising a block if I was not expecting the change. Is there a way forward? I really appreciate your continuing help.How about [highlight]starting in safe mode[/highlight] then selecting [highlight]double click to open single click to select[/highlight] then try to select them all?OK, I'll give it a try.Panda will only remove viruses for free, spyware, trojans & worms are in the realm of Ewido/AVG Online Scan for free removal.Hi, i dont know much about it but what if its trying to read the documents off of the cd? i mean its worth a shot to put the cd in and try deleting them, if its looking for a source with the files on it. just a thought tho.You mean off the CD or off of "My Documents"? If it's the former, it's impossible without a CD-RW. If it's the latter -- it's been tried. Trust us on this, a burned disc should not be automatically trying to write to the hard drive.I seemed to have solved it. The AVG clean appears to have done the trick and I have purchased the antispyware which is compatible with mcAfee. The thousands of docs have been deleted (the scan revealed 50 items of malware). Fingers crosssed and thanks VERY much for all your help.50 pieces? Wow, another reason not to go with McAfee. I mean no offense to you, but honestly, 50? That's a lot.

By the way, Fed posted the solution over a week ago. Quote Panda Activescan |
