safe mode?

Sorry for not providing enough information. I downloaded and deleted this file long time ago. It suddenly popped out after I ran a virus scan. Why is that so?
Any solution to it? I hope I don't have to reformat my drive to solve this problem...

The number [1] indicates that it's some backup. What causes this to appear again is unknown. I have no idea why your antivirus wants to bring it back.Originally posted by technoboy:
Reboot to Safe Mode and start Command Prompt. (Start > Run and type in cmd)
Since it's on the desktop, try this command:
cd desktop
del trivium - the crusade[1].zip -
i also got this problem when my file is on my D drive.

your antivirus is too sensitive.
create a same file(using notepad) in directory where your anti virus detected it. then, scan the directory with anti virus. if it doesn't show, then the file is fully replaced. u can delete the file created.
ps: if it doesnt allow u to overwrite, boot safe mode and do it.
OR
rewrite the sector (many times) with blank data using 3rd party program.. mayi intro a few liao. -
Sorry, can someone tell me how to get into safe mood?

When your computer starts, hit the F8 button.Originally posted by technoboy:Sorry, can someone tell me how to get into safe mood?
If F8 doesn't work, hit F5. -

I tried exactly the terms over there and it says it "could not find". So i tried typing it without the spaces and it came out as something unrecognised. I can't really remember what is the exact phrase though but it didn't work...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The number [1] indicates that it's some backup.

Actually, I'm not quite sure if it was the anti-virus which cause the icon to be created. It might be something I unknowingly pressed but I'm pretty sure it only came out after running the anti-virus. -
I seriously don't know what heck did your antivirus do.Originally posted by technoboy:I tried exactly the terms over there and it says it "could not find".

Try using FileASSASSIN -
yes. create the same file using note pad.Originally posted by technoboy:I don't quite understand the 1st method, do you mean I just create a same filename using notepad, and scan my desktop with the anti-virus?

1. open notepad
2. save as...
3. select "all files", and let the file name be "trivium - the crusade[1].zip ". remember to include .zip
4. select the directory where ur antivirus found that file.
save it and u are done. den proceed the steps should be done
what i assume is that.... the file trivium - the crusade[1].zip is somehow not fully deleted.. your hdd cannot read its header(maybe as blank header) whats why u cannot see it... but your antivirus could sense that the virus is still active. so its in between deleted and not deteled -
I tried using the FileASSASIN. This came out.
And when I try the notepad method, it came out 2 icons. Now I can delete the first icon, but the one which I created now has the same problem and turns back to the same thing...

lol the one u deleted is probably u created one... i suggest u use any of the third party tool to clean the sector...Originally posted by technoboy:I tried using the FileASSASIN. This came out.

Not really, I tried 2 times deleting the different icon but to no avail. Can you introduce me some tools to try? Cos' the one Mayi introduced didn't work...Originally posted by manyu882:lol the one u deleted is probably u created one... i suggest u use any of the third party tool to clean the sector... -

download the one call Disk WiperDisk Wiper
its a free to try ware[/url]
Problem: Free disk space on your hard drive is not actually free! It contains a lot of previously deleted files. Some programs writes and delete temporary data on the disk. This activity can be recovered!
Solution: Disk Wiper function overwrites all free space on data storage. Use this function to prevent recovery of previously deleted files or software activity. -
I tried this one as well, same problem, it says the file is not found.
Wierd problem. I guess I'll have to reformat my comp to really solve this problem... -
how come file not found? it's not suppose to find file and clean it.. it supposed to clean empty sectors...Originally posted by technoboy:I tried this one as well, same problem, it says the file is not found.
