I have a file that won't delete or go into the recycling bin. Anyone know a way to delete this

I also can't find the file in a file search. I beleive I downloaded it as a mp3 file. It only appears in my windows media player as a song. When I do delete the file, it comes back the same title but sometimes it changes the artist. It also can't be found with a antivirus check. But when i do run my AVG antivirus software it says shell32 or something has been "changed".

Here's a simple solution:



when your pc starts keep tapping F8 key, a menu will appear with some options, choose safe mode



start the pc under safe mode, delete the file and then restart.



hopefully it would solve the problem.

Did you try running a spy scan? Try running it in safe mode also. Reboot and immediately press F8 until you get to a safe mode or safe mode screen.
Update your AV and run it. I would get Adaware and update it and run it.



It does sound like a virus or spyware that you downloaded.



I hope this helps
Download the Norton Free Trial to see if that detects anything, and isn't downloading mp3's illegal. That's one reason to not download mp3's form the internet.
You did not mention the operating system. If it is windows, find out where the stupid thing is stored, then boot up in safe mode/command prompt, and navigate to the directory and delete it there. It probably altered your registry. You will have to take care of that also.
