469377 2006-07-08 04:23:00 hi everyone,

i am not able to delete a 0 byte file from my system. when i try to delete the file i get the following error message

"cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk"

So can anyone tell me how to get rid of the file.

i am using Win XP with NTFS file system.

Thanks

It could be a virus, but then have you got proof that Unlocker has bad code?

469385 2006-07-08 06:39:00 Hi, I am new to this forum and respect that many of you have been posting here for a long time. My motivation is to be helpful and yes we have discovered that unlocker has created problems, not successfully removing files and causing bad sector problems. The point being that there are other programs that do this better. The delete at boot tool in Hijack this, being one of them. :) jenae (254)
