very interesting

Thank you Andavari! The folders were able to be deleted once the files underneath were gone. Thanks so very much!

I wrote this yesterday in the Lounge, but probably should've written it here. Here is basically the summary: Well, seems that you may be right. Antivirus pgm didn't catch it, but on-line scan with MicroTrend did. The result was TROJ BDI.DR which is a backdoor pgm and shows as not cleanable. Recommended was to delete the folder c:\windows\iNetPal. I did, then ran chkdsk /f, then regcleaner then a defrag. However, the files are still in the TIF folder. If using windows to delete, it says cannot find file; ensure pathname etc..is correct. CClean doesn't give a reason why it can't. It does keep showing up when analyzed but doesn't delete it even upon reboot. I tried Evidence Eliminator to delete the folder and got this in the log: Error: subEliminatePathWithMask dropped DIR: C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\LHXEZ9FS\adproxy%3faction=getAd&u=1322462419&m=wma&a=1,30&f=396500046&r=28&b=4B45D007FC7B842b1d27b&at=content%3D%22653%22+topic%3D%22%22&eg=ZIDDAKP13_IoKBr6H7CwRA&sg=1118949942&p1=1&p[1].asx Eliminating folder C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\LHXEZ9FS <SKIPPED LOCKED FOLDER><OK> If I could find a way to unlock the folder, or the use of a DOS command in WinXP, that would be great, I hope. Any further help in eliminating files like this in the TIF folder would be greatly apprecited. Thank you.

Problem: Some files in the temporary Internet folders are not being deleted, either manually using windows explorer or by CCleaner. They are listed when analyzed, but simply not deleted. I believe some websites have the ability to lock files into the TIF folder. Using WinXP Pro, even signed under another user and use custom folder option in CCleaner, it does not delete the file(s). All but a small number of files in the TIF are being deleted ok. Please advise a remedy if known. Many thanks!
