• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

New Folder virus

I have discovered a folder called "New Folder" it can't be removed. My Task manager was disabled and I could not use "run". I have googled this topic and found others have commented - not always with helpful info. I have used SpyBot for several years - and have decided to ask on this forum for some advice. Do others have a problem with it. I cannot remove the Folder. I have run all the usual programs - nothing is detecting it. I would appreciate some assistance. I have done a system restore and got the task manager back and also "run" - but the folder is still there. People have said this is a bad thing and it can slow up your pc.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D
