    Didn't know where else to post this question, but there's a folder called ...autumnskiss.. that's supposedly empty, but whenever I try to delete/rename it can't read from the source file or disk. If I try to open it, windows states that location no longer exists. I understand there's more crucial problems than this, so no worries if someone can't help.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    Dont know if this would be a malware issue, more like an application has taken hold of this folder, generally P2P apps do this, so a few things to try first before we head into malware removal guide.


    1. Boot into safe mode and try to delete their?
    Hit F8 repeatedly at boot to get to the safe mode menu


    2. Try one of the below to delete the folder, may or will need to reboot to complete.

    • Pocket Killbox
    • MoveOnBoot this one, once you dragNdrop the file or browse for its location, deletes the file on reboot, so any applications that have locked the file are not running so cannot lock it before deletion.. my fav!
    • Unlocker
