Try to take Ownership of the C:\FRST folder

Right click on the Folder that you are trying to delete
Click on “Properties” on the right click menu.
Click on “Security” tab.
Click on “Advanced” button at the bottom.
In Advanced Security Settings dialog window, click on “Owner” tab.
To take ownership of the object, click on the Edit button. Give permission to UAC. Then highlight the user name in the “Change owner to” box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Click “OK” to finish the process.
Back in Advanced Security Settings window, you will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
Click “OK” button to exit this window.

Then try to delete the folder

VistaKing, i've tried. doesn't work.

Have you tried deleting the folder inside Safe Mode ?

Reboot the PC as the PC is booting up tap on the F8 key you will then see a black screen with white text called Advanced Boot Options . Scroll down to Safe Mode using the down arrow key and press [ENTER] on Safe Mode .

You will see white font scrolling down then get to the Safe Mode . Login you will then be inside Safe Mode click on Yes button .

   Note

Don't worry if everything looks huge that's normal .

Restart PC to normal once you're done deleting the folder .

cmd: rd /q/s c:\FRST\Quarantine

brato92,

Any malware issues remaining?

 

[brato92]

No, my system works great now. Do you think i'm safe surfing the internet with MSE, or i need another antivirus ? Some guys out here sais that MSE is just basic, isn't the best solution.

brato92,

Glad the system is running good.

The search for the 'perfect' AntiVirus program has been going on for quite some time.

The different programs have virus definitions that vary, and it seems as if most of the time AV programs are playing 'catch-up'. A virus is created, and the AntiVirus then develops a definition for it. There is such a thing as heuristic analysis, but, viruses are constantly changing and evolving.

To protect your computer...

• Use Antivirus Software, however, do not run more than one AV at a time!! MSE, in my opinion, is as good program.
• Use AntiSpyware/AntiMalware Software: Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware is an excellent choice.
• Use an Online Scanner. The ESET Online Scanner is also an excellent choice. Run a full online scan of your computer weekly, if possible.
• Use an Internet Firewall. The Windows Firewall is available, but there are others.

A search for free choices will provide other programs in the categories above. The above suggestions are ones I use, and have not paid for any security program since the year 2000. Also, if you look in the forum, you will find several discussions and opinions about what programs are best.
Last, but not least, update your Software!! Outdated malware definitions in your programs do not keep the system safe.



Surf safely, brato92!!

Can someone help me with a similar issue? I'm getting the same "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" when I try to open MSE

It is best for you to open your own topic here:

This thread is more than 4 months old, and already solved.

Thank you!
