Totally fucked up file crashing my system please help!!
I downloaded this one file from emule and its doing strange shit to my computer i've never seen before.
if I try to do anything to the file, the computer starts freaking out, slowing down, cpu usage goes up to 100% and stays there, basically locks everything up. I've tried deleting the file, even in safe mode but the computer won't let me it says it's being used by another program. I ran virus checks on the system with both trendmicro and avg neither report anything. Everything runs fine until i touch this file. How can I get rid of this fucking thing and what is it about the file causing this shit to happen??? |

Sometimes windows has problems deleting large file or file with long names. Thank Microsoft for that.
Try this: create 2 files in that directory, one that has a name before the one you want to delete and one that comes after it. Now hilight all three and try and delete them all at once. |
