Computer Q&A Board  /  Windows  /  Deleting files, drive access and spyware
Posted by: mrdannyb, January 15th, 2008, 11:17pm
Hi,

for some reason when i delete a file, from a folder (or a whole folder) or from the desktop etc... it remains visible until i reset the computer! it only started happening recently, does any one know why??!!

also, when trying to access my computer or one of the drives it just displays the searching flash light and i have to gain access through the folder button??

last thing, i've tried many programs to remove spyware, adware and pop-ups but something always remains and the spyware etc.. is back after restarting!!!

my laptop used to run fast with no problems so any help on these three topics would be greatly appreciated!!!

Its possible that some of the system files have been corrupted.
Go to the command prompt (Start/run) and type  sfc /scannow  and hit return.
Make sure you have your original Windows install disk as your PC might request you insert it.  A progress bar will appear as the process is completed.
Best of luck
