    Default Can't delete file.

    Hi everybody.
    New to group.
    If this is the wrong forum, let me know.
    Here's my problem, I was cleaning up my HD and found a video, played it to see what it was, and yes it was one of those. Anyway when I tried to delete it, it gave me the "this file cannot be deleted" message. So I ran it through "Secure Shredder" and that got rid of it. But then a new file popped up.
    Just some info on the file, it was in a folder I created just for my downloads.
    The new file had a new name and extension and would not delete. Every time I ran it through Shredder it would come back with new name and extension.
    These are some examples:
    speizuap.ydk
    dwcytvbs.glp
    sdecleen.jml

    I got to 15 and quit. I'm concerned it could be a virus. I'm going to try some other things, but any help would be appreciated. Let me know what info you need from my PC.
    Thanks
