Index DAt file cant be removed
 

Hello everyone. I had a spyware prob. , got the programs to fix and prevent (adaware,spywareblaster,spybot search) but I now have a Index DAt file in my cookies that I cant delete. Every so often I get 17 more files found by adaware. I'm assuming that I have some kind of program that is hidden and lurking and reinstalls every so often. YEt I cant find in searches anything to help me. I search here TFP and nothing came up so thats why I am asking the board. Thanks for any help you could give me !

do you get a "windows cannot delete file" error?

can you rename the file?

I've encountered this a time or two before. I absolutely hate files that I cannot delete after all, it's my damn computer, right?

There's always safe mode. It usually works wonders, but sometimes this just isn't a choice.

Here's an article at techtv.com that might help...

When I try to delete or rename I get the same message "cannot delet/rename , is being used by another program" I'm at a total loss here.

I have gotten some error message like that when I tried to delete some music song off my computer. I closed down every single program using Ctrl+Alt+Del except Explorer and it still did it.
