Stupid Effin File Won't goooo awayyyyy

[huskeyb8]

I have an MP3 file that I cannot get rid of ... tried deleting the whole file, everything else in the file went but this ONE EFFIN FILE and it just hangs. When I right click on the EFFIN file, no "properties" option shows...nor does cut,copy,rename,delete etc etc. I have tried dragging to recycle bin and it won't budge. I have tried unlocker...tried booting in safe mode..nada.

How can I get rid of this EFFIN file, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee helppppppp meeeeeeeee before I go batty !!!

Thank you and have a great day.

What size is the file?
What OS is this?

[huskeyb8]

Sorry ..was so pissed, I forgot the details.

Windows XP SP2

It's 4.91 MB ... MP3 audio file .... scanned it with malware bytes ... not a virus, but has a very long file name.

It won't open, play, delete, drag, MOVE or anything. It just sits there annoying me.

[huskeyb8]

I should also say that there were 5 other files in THIS file which all deleted successfuly.

But not this one effin bugger.

Are you finished saying "effin"? I'm not insulted, but it does insult some people.

Can you give us the name of the file?

Go here: http://virscan.org/ and upload the file. It'll scan it will multiple virus scanners and give you the results. Post the link to the results.

[huskeyb8]

Sorry.

I tried to scan it , but get an error message that says the file name is invalid.

Now close all windows other than HijackThis, then click Fix Checked.  Close HijackThis.



Can you post the name of the file in question?

[huskeyb8]

Ok ..done with hijack this. Files fixed.

The file in question (I'd copy and paste but it won't let me) and it's quite long, so here goes:

07-the_blind_boys_of_alabama-down_by_the_riverside_(with_the_preservation_hall_jazz_band_an d_allen_toussaint)

And like I said it's 4.91 MB. No matter what I do, I get "invalid file name" errors.

I have a screen shot of what I see when I right click if you need that?

[hot dog]

Are you finished saying "effin"? I'm not insulted, but it does insult some people.

I myself found it quite amusing reading his initial post

[huskeyb8]

I apologize to all who didn't. I just wasn't thinking. Wasn't meant to be amusing...was just expressing my frustration as best I could with written words since ya'll couldn't hear me ranting and stomping around.

[kpac]

I have a screen shot of what I see when I right click if you need that?

Yes, please.

Can you rename the file? Never mind, just saw that you can't.

[huskeyb8]

Ok, but just a wee problem...how do I insert the screen shot in a reply here?

(Banging head on desk cuz I hate looking so unedukated)

[kpac]

Don't worry about it.
