Solved: very strange file : not sure where to post this. I'm pretty sure only the 1337 p2p users can help me the most, but everyone is willing to take a stab at this one.
I am am avid user of Limewire pro. I paid for it. It is the legit copy directly from the website. I will never ever ever use a torrent program. I do understand there are questionable files available for download at time. After a couple of years working with limewire, I've gotten used to seeing such files, such as the size, type, and names. I am not sure which music file this one "picture" downloaded with. The picture name is your typical "stay away from" file name, so therefore I did not purposely click it, but it found it's way into my pictures folder. When right clicked, there is only few options.

No matter which way I try, the file cannot be renamed, viewed, (no preview available), deleted, or messed with in any way. I have tried using programs such as unlocker, gipro moveonboot, and others which friends referred me to. I am not a big fan of downloading many applications that do the same thing. Unlocker gave the ability to have a "Send to" option, which I tried, and does not respond. DOS will not even recognize the file as existing. The force delete programs which all have failed all give me similiar responses which can be summed up in one short sentence. "cannot find file, invalid name, invalid format, file or format not recognized, or no response at all". Double clicked to preview with "no preview available". I tried to MOVE the file in SAFE MODE and all it does is follow the action of a drop and drag with no response or errors, and stays put in the same spot, even if I rearrange the icons in any other way. Not once have I received an error about the file being used. I can easily take screenshots of it including the right-click menu, but cannot use, move or delete the file in any way. Please help me. No I will NOT send as attachment, but I can take a screenie to make it safer for someone else to see what I see.
The performance of my computer is not affected in any way, nor has it had any malfunctions in any form whatsoever, but my girlfriend asked about this "insert sexual search terms here as name of file.jpg" and I had no response at first except, "I don't know wtf to do with it or where it came from". Let's say she didn't like that response a whole lot. I personally didn't like using that as a response, but I'm so lost with this.
My computer skill is enough for you to know I have never used an antivirus or anti anything program and still have never encountered a virus, file, or software of any type which could get past me except this one file. My computer is extremely organized and I know what files are in what folders at all times by constant monitoring and constant viewing of every folder. Anything different gets researched and/or removed. |
