lo,
I have my puter do a scan nightly . However, I ran one today and it detected one that came up with absolutely nothing in the file name, or location . But it was underlined like a file was there and I could click on it. I tried to delete it, quarantine, and repair it. But of course I got the general message that I could not do any of that because it may be really corrupted. What is it?

Go here:

for free antivirus scan, just to make sure it's not false-positive.
What AV are you using, and what Windows version?

Lo,
Windows XP
Cox Security suite

Run msconfig, startup tag, check which programs start up and whether you know them all as OK. If not known, untick them, reboot and run av again. Now it should not be running and if it comes up again, it can not block deletion. Click the rest on again, if you really need them all continuously running and wasting CPU time.
