Please help me remove a rogue file

[Chewie]

Can u stop with this smartassing, really ? Everybody knows what thumbs.db is, if u just found out on net about thumbs.db u don't know anything.

I'll do you a deal.
I'll stop 'smartassing' if you stop talking crap.

If you know what thumbs.db files are then why did you post this utter rubbish...

...I think thats how your spyware in Thumbs.db spreads on your puter. Whenever this file is created, thats when u see files as thumbs, this spreads. But deleteing this one Thumbs.db file won't stop the spyware to create another one when u open the same folder with thumbs. U better not use this Thumbs.db to log your thumbs. Unlocker is good, but its onyl needed when some program is using another one but it won't solve your spyware/trojan problem.

Malware has nothing do do with thumbs.db.
What possible use to malware, is the thumbs.db file in a folder where the View setting is thumbnails? Explorer will change the contents almost completely every time the folder is refreshed?
You have erroneously concluded that the original poster has a malware problem purely because the thumb.db file couldn't be deleted.

I had this problem and my computer crashed when i opened a folder and thumbs.db was infected. Emty folders don't crash and btw thumbs.db can't be used on a clean disk, cause it stops working when the thumbs are created.
Now tell me more....im all ears noobs
Im done with this thread.

What? Unless the feature is disabled, when thumbnails are shown, thumbs.db is created and is therefore 'working'. The reason it doesn't 'work' on a clean disk is because Explorer sees there are no files to create thumbnails for. Ergo, no thumbnails.

Good for u ;D
