    Hello ssettor, welcome to Seven Forums!



    The first thing to try; have a look at the tutorial at the link below to see if it'll resolve the issue; if not you may need to run a virus scan.

    If that does not work, take ownership as mentioned by Barefoot and get permissions, as explained here.
