    hi,

    just ran a bit defender scan, the on-line one, and it came up with about 4 virus's in a file called {3E26D2AF-3854-4F03-A9D2-B0CAEC29763A} on inspection this file was empty, i have enabled all hidden files and folders. Does anybody know what this file is and what it does, and why would bit defender say its got a virus in when its empty.

    spybot - nothing
    ad-aware - nothing
    AVG - nothing
    windows defender - nothing
    spyware blaster and ccleaner used

    It is more than likely a folder not a file. It could also be a registry key! It could be just a left over from an infection. Since you did not attach the actual log from Bitdefender, I really cannot tell you any more than that.

    It's not a file. It is a folder and is related to your Outlook Express identity. You need to run Outlook Express and delete the stuff BitDefender is pointing out. You have to read those messages from Bitdefender a little closer. The {3E26D2AF-3854-4F03-A9D2-B0CAEC29763A} folder is not the problem. The problems are in your Sent Items folder.

    Next time you create a Bitdefender log, please follow the directions in the READ & RUN ME. It makes logs much easier to read when the directions are followed.
