7:07:00 AM in microsoft.public.win2000.security after much thought,came
up with this jewel:

I have a file that appeared with a download of video that I cannot
delete! It appears in the my videos folder and also in the downloads
and settings folder. I'm not sure that it is a harmful file but there
are pornographic references in the file and I would like to get rid
of it. After deleting it to the recycle bin and emptying bin it
always reappears. I have tried safe mode to delete it and ran virus
protection in safe mode to no avail ( I am running windows xp home ).
I would like any info on how to delete that file from said folders.
Also if anyone has any ideas on what " shellcon hidden window is I
would appreciate it. thanks
