If your still having trouble trying to delete the file try this app called Killbox. Open up that app find the file and killbox should be able to rid you of it.

i dont know where the file is tho?
If it’s a virus try Spybot Search and Destroy
If it’s just a file try Unlocker.
If it’s just a file try Unlocker.
+1
the thing is i cant find the file
search for it, it may have been put in multiple locations
i did nothing comes up
Just use unlocker and delete that thing
It might be a hidden file which will not show up on a search.
To unhide all the files on your PC:
Open Windows Explorer (Not Internet Explorer!)
Menu at top:
Tools~ Folders are not allowed ~ Options/View
Check ‘Show hidden files and folders’
Scroll down and uncheck ‘Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
Click yes on any warning window that pops up.
Then go do a search again.
Revert these settings back to what they were when you have finished.
i have done that but still no lucky search didnt find it
How are you searching?
Also, try searching for Hacktool.Pwdump
If it’s a virus there’s some info here:

so do i search for all these???
Try Start > Search> type what u are searching for in all files or folders > if ur in xp (if vista just type what ur looking for) > click search and wait for it to try and find what file you want > delete the file if its found.
tryed that didnt find it
man why must life be so complicated, well at least turn off sytem restore if your going to remove it or use it to go back to another day when you didnt have it. If all else fails i would try to repair your windows folder off of the Install CD and see if that helps..
OK, so you say you scanned your computer and found the file.
What did you scan it with? And is the file still there when you ‘scan’ again?
Strange that a search can’t find anything ……. unless of course the file has an entirely different name from that which shows up (this can happen with certain viruses)
Have you tried Spybot Search and Destroy?
i got so smiling that i format my whole drive and reinstalled windows everything is good thanks tho
