Undeletable folder (rundll32.exe???)

    Hey,

    Just a quick question,

    I have a folder on my PC that won't let me delete it. It tells me that it cannot delete it because it is being used by another program. I have stopped running every program and stopped every process i could identify as non-essential and tried to delete it but no biscuit. I checked Task manager and i have 2 instances of rundll32.exe running, even at start up there are two running. I have just re-installed XP and installed SP3 recently.

    I am fairly certain that before i downloaded this folder there was only one instance of it running so this is why i suspect it.

    Anywho, i've run the hijack this on the machine and i get the following

    http://majorgeeks.com/Unlocker_d4660.html

    this will do the trick ,

    Why do you want to delete this file?

    i hope you know what you are doing............:eek:



    Edit<<, just one thing you say you have stopped every non essential program etc.... does this not leave you to conclude that it probably is an essential program so you should leave it alone?

    The folder i want to delete is a folder i downloaded through a torrent and it was corrupted when i tried to open it so it won't work. It is nothing vital it is just annoying me.

    Sorry, what i meant by stopping all the process and programs was that i stopped anything that i thought could possibly be using the folder. ie. anything that is not in the process list above.

    that file is legit, as are those HJT entries
    • Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
    • Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
    • Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
    • Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt (<<will be maximized) and info.txt (<<will be minimized)

    The Unlocker seems to have worked, the file is gone.

    I think everything should be ok

    Here are the logs:

    The file is legit, you need it

    I suggest you restore it

    Post the logs instead of attaching them
