Hi there,

I downloaded this .jpg image and cannot open this file up and now I cannot delete it either. If I right click on the image, theres no options to delete and there are alot less options then if I was to right click on another file? is this file a virus or malware of some sort? Is there any way to remove it. I have run a scan with the SD + AV and it did'nt detect this, so I am assuming this is not some sort of malware. Any help would be most appreciated.

hi
download privecy guardian or desktop mechanic and create a custem item specifing the file (make sure delete costem items is on) then run a clean

if you don't want to do that try deleting it in safe mode or running malware detective

Hey Guys,

Thanks so much for the instructions. I was able to remove that annoying file. Worked like a charm.

Just purchased Desktop Mechanic and absolutely love it.

Again Thanks.
