Solved I get a file name warning for some folder called "C:\Program" ?

I get a file name warning for some folder called "C:\Program" ?

Today I started my computer and when I reached the desktop this little message popped up: File name warning. There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?

I have never seen this before and I do not have a folder called "C:\Program". Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Desktop,
Go to another Win 7 computer to prepare the USB stick in this writeup.

Bootup from that usb stick on your computer.

Do this immediately as you have malicious malware.

HOW TO USE MICROSOFT'S OFFLINE MALWARE REMOVER
Windows Defender Offline
· performs an offline scan of an infected PC to remove viruses, rootkits and other advanced malware.
· is a free standalone, bootable malware and virus remover from Microsoft.

Download Windows Defender Offline (about 785 kB)
You will have the choice of downloading the 32bit version (x86) or the 64 bit version (x64).
The link will help you determine whether you are running a 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Windows

NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 32 bit version using a 64 bit version of Windows
NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 64 bit version using a 32bit version of Windows.

You run the 32 bit version on a 32 bit version of Windows.
You run the 64 bit version on a 64 bit version of Windows.

The 32 bit download file name is: mssstool32.exe
The 64 bit download file name is: mssstool64.exe

For the curious, this program was originally name Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper.


INSTALLATION:
· Requires an Internet Connection.
· Insert 512 mB or larger USB stick into a usb port.
· Run the downloaded program--mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe
· NEXT button
· Choose the option On a USB flash drive that is not password protected
· NEXT button
· NEXT button
.
The install program will:
· format the usb stick using the NTFS format.
· download less than 230 mB.
· name the USB stick WDO_Media32 or WDO_Media64
· use less than 300 mB.

How to UPDATE the Windows Defender Offline USB stick:
· reinsert the usb stick
· run the installation program, mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe, again.
· the update will download less than 65 mB.

Since the malware database is sometimes updated several times in a day, always update before running.

PERFORM AN OFFLINE SCAN
Bootup your computer from the USB stick
Windows Defender Offline will automatically perform a quick scan.
After the quick scan finishes, Choose Full Scan
Select all of your drives

The initial, full scan can easily take several hours, but
Remember, your computer is being very thoroughly checked for all types of malware.

Thanks.

Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" has been set as follows;

Click the "Start" Orb and type "Show hidden files and folders" and select it from the display list (it should be the very first entry). Then be sure the radio button is selected as shown in the attachment. Afterwards you should be able to locate the folder as follows;

Open "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer", find the folder "Program" and open it to view the contents, if any, and delete them. Next delete the folder.

DO NOT DELETE THE "PROGRAM FILES" OR "PROGRAM FILES x86" FOLDER(S)!!!!

PS: I am unaware of this being caused by a virus or malware, but it is caused by a bug or coding error in a program.

If you care to take the time and research the problem on the web, you will find a plethera of posts with the same message. One of the solutions is to allow the renaming of the folder as suggested in the error message.

I know you haven't found the "Program" folder on your computer and I would venture to guess you are using MS search. I use Agent Ransack and have found that it locates files and folders not located by the built in search feature. It is free and can be downloaded from "MythicSoft". I would try using it to see if it finds the folder and go from there.

Yes, I did research this on the web before finally coming here. I saw many solutions, including renaming the file. However, I wasn't sure what I was dealing with so I didn't want to say "OK" to having something renamed I didn't even know I had.

Thanks for the link to Agent Ransack—it found the folder immediately. It contains the 1KB folder everyone mentioned in my research. What's interesting is that the contents of that folder are dated 10/6/2009.

Should I still go ahead with karl's suggestion with the USB?

I would just remove the folder; there is no need to do any additional work to solve the problem. As I stated before, you are almost certainly not dealing with a virus or malware.

I solve problems.

Follow the procedure I gave.

I don't carry magic wands.

I bring solutions that WORK!

Run WDO as I advised.

karl, I followed your instructions and (on my niece's computer) created the USB with WDO_Media64 on it. Now my only question is how do I get Windows 7 to boot off the USB? I can hit F12 on my keyboard when restarting and I get a boot list of drives, but for the USB I have five options — USB FDD, USB ZIP, USB CDROM and USB HDD.

I tried picking USB HDD, but it wanted to read off the floppy drive instead of the USB. It did this also for all the other choices. So how do I get the computer to recognize that USB instead of the floppy drive and boot from it?

Well I made a DVD with the program on it and ran the diagnostic. I did the brief scan then the full scan. There were no options for choosing any drives, so I just ran it. It didn't find anything and I'm still getting that "Program" popup when I start the computer.

Ok, I did as you instructed. After pasting the script the program just shut down. I assume it created the WDOlogs zip file on my desktop. Can't say for sure since I don't remember if it was there before or not. Anyway, you're instructions were kind of confusing. The zip is attached.
