cannot delete a file from recycle bin. when i try, windows crashes.. after running norton scan i discovered the file contains a high risk virus. possible backdoor.irc.bot which apparently is a generic detection for a group of backdoor trojan horses (does this make sense to anyone??!!) Please help me to delete this file. running vista home premium on hp g6000 laptop if that helps.

you got me confused a little. norton detected the thing, but it didn't deleted anything?

Try booting up in Safe Mode ( hit the F8 key repeatedly after the memory counting Bios screen disappears ) and try deleting it from there.

You can try File Sheeder but, I reccomend you try deleting it in safe mode. You need to relax, If you want us to seriously help you you dont make a topic in all caps
