Unaccessible folder (possibly win32/parite)
Hi guys and gurls.
As you've probably guessed, i have a security issue.
Theres this folder on one of my drives, secondary drive, and i can't access it or delete it or even move it. I have no clue how it got there or where it came from or how to get rid of it. No scans recognise it eg. avg virus scan doesn't recognise it or even pick it up, but when i run a spyware scan, an avg pop up appears and recognises it. That pop up allows you to ignore it, delete it, heal it or move to vault. But you can select any one option and nothing happens. It also has this weird name, e7eea72b60191b8f411240ebb9c0231e, told you weird dnt tink it makes any difference but jus thot i'd mention it. And as i said in the title think it may be win32/parite or sumthin. But i've already used a win32/parite removal tool but it still re-appears. Someone please help, any help would do i just want this folder removed and gone.

Thanks for taking the time to read my prob guys n gurl.

Hi ice_786, If it is truly a "secondary drive", and you have enough space available elsewhere - move everything but that file off of the drive. Then reformat that drive and move all the good stuff back.

Hey - it's worth a try.
