There's a file called clip0001 in my My Documents folder and if I click on it, my i get an error message and Explorer restarts. Anyone know what's happening? And is there any way I can delete this file without clicking it? I don't think I have a virus since NOD32 isn't detecting anything. Also a Quick Scan with MBAM came out clean.
Here's a screenshot: 
Pls help I'm kind of freaking out right now.
looks strange,,you can use eraser http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/download
but first backup your files..right click on file and choose options
I'm going to try a system restore later and see if that works. Btw, that file isn't doing anything, and it hasn't done anything either. I just can't click on it.
System Restore didn't work. HELP!
Try this:
Use Ctrl+a to select everything in the folder
Use Ctrl+left-click to deselect the three folders one by one
When only clip 0001 remains selected, hit delete.
Can't do it. I still get the error.
YES! I DELETED IT! Used the FileAssassin Tool from MBAM. It deleted the file!
Ever notice that some obviously very techie-related, non-audio files, even within the Windows folder, have a WMP associated icon? What's up with that?
Yeah. Like DAT files have the WMP icon associated with them. Weird.
Check Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types to see if the .dat file has the WMP icon associated.
If not, the WMP icon has probably become the default icon for unknown file types.
EDIT: On my computer, .dat files display the standard unknown file type icon.
And one last possibility ... on a file downloaded from the internet, it may have been accompanied by an Alternate Data Stream file (super hidden file type) which AFAIK can associate an icon. You may want to try an ADS file viewer such as NirSoft AlternateStreamView. BTW, this is why it's safer to set Windows Explorer to not hide file extensions ... you can't rely on the icon.
