Every time I try to even read the file with another viewer (yes, I have found
the file on my C: drive), I get access denied, regardless of the program I am
using to view it. Even the online virus detectors suggested by some are not
able to look at it, delete it, copy it or anything you can think of that one
can normally do.
A year or two ago, I caught some malware residing in the MBR and managed to
replace the existing MBR. Unfortunately, I no longer remember how to do that
procedure, nor do I have the intellectual capacity these days to figure it out
again (bad health). I guess I'll just have to live with it.
Please, do NOT just "live with it"!!! There are many other ways to work to
eliminate it:
Boot in Safe Mode, find and delete it.
Boot from the Win CD, go to the Recovery Console, find and delete it.
Boot from a Live Linux CD, Bart PE, or other diagnostic CD, find and delete
it.
Run chkdsk /mbr from the Win CD or Safe Mode.
