Title: Cannot delete the XXX file and ICQ files!!
Post by: Guest_Confused!_* on February 10, 2005, 11:26:26 PM

HELP!  I cannot delete a couple of files that are on my computer and I'm not quite sure how they got there!  ICQ Lite is one of them and XXX files which is a .dlr file on WebSite Viewer is another.  I want these 2 items gone.  I have downloaded Hijack This and CWShredder and SpySubtract all to try and get rid of this crap!  If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem.

I have the same problem with the XXX file. It's a DLR type file that automatically plugs my system into a porn site on a regular basis. I delete all of the short cuts and all but one of the main files. The one "parent" file prompts that it cannot be deleted because its being used by another application. Access denied. Please help.
