Title: Unable to remove yahoo_newbreed1-1_tm5-3.exe
Post by: homer69 on February 15, 2008, 12:09:40 AM

hi
Just got home and found my daughter has down loaded a program called yahoo_newbreed1-1_tm5-3.exe on my desktop. Have tried all the solutions listed. Still no joy. When you open the properties it says it is a ms dos file. When i try yo delete it, it comes up with is being use by another program.
Have tried safe mode comes up with the same, even when there is hardly any thing else running.

Any one help me please.

Welcome to the CH forums.

First read this (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,33586.html)..

Is it listed in Add/Remove programs?

Good luck

Try Unlocker.   GoHere (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/)

The readme file that comes with Unlocker will explain the easy use of the
program.
