Hey all, I haven't ben around lately, but check you out dailey. I downloaded an installer to my desk top named Auto Assault Installer. It won't let me delete it as it says being used by another user or program. I tried renaming it, and it says the same. I try to install it and it says not a avalid win32 program. Any suggestions???????
 
It happens, probably not malware.

Boot in safe mode (holf F8 key while booting for the option) and delete it by hand from the DOS prompt.

If you do not know how to delete from the command prompt you could just use MoveOnBoot.

Even command prompt doesn't always work. The real only TRUE way to do this through a command prompt type interface is through Recovery Console. Sometimes the CMD prompt within Windows can't even remove the attributes you need to delete files.
 
Thanks every one, moveonboot worked like a charm. I swear you are all computer gods.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
