Some how a folder with some unknown files in it got put on my external hard drive and now when I try and delete it, it is impossible. I know the folder contains a virus or malware, but when I scan it with AVG and Norton it says it is clean...Please help

Hi

How is that folder named? I believe hjt log might help as well.

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
