Suspicious file

[Dinesh]

OK. I need help.

There is an unknown file on the desktop which wont go. If I delete, it comes back if I refresh the desktop. When I right click on this file, there are only 3 options: Cut, Create Shortcut and Delete.



I have scanned my computer with Hitman Pro, MBAM, Windows Defender and Norton 360 V4. None of them detects anything. Any idea what is this and how do I get rid off this file?



Thanks,
Dinesh.

Also, When I try to delete this file, it shows this message in German language. When I translated the message, it means, Please Do not Delete.

Try using Unlocker to delete it. It will attempt to end anything that's using it and delete it. I wouldn't mind taking a look at it for you if you can zip it/RAR it and attach.

Time for a system restore I think...

How do I ZIP/RAR it? No program is able to detect this file. Tried unlocker, it cant detect it as well.

"I fixed it.
Go to regedit. Search "21165.cn" Delete all the keys. Restarted the PC. Now you can delete the icons"

When you right-click, are any properties indicated?

Hi Dinesh,

good to hear you already solved this problem.
Maybe it's also good time for review your current security setup - If you had infection in your system that you shouldn't have...

Hmmm. That was a strange file wasn't it? The right-click context menu didn't even have properties.
