I am searching for that very answer. i know my browser got hijacked when I inadvertently turned off my pop-up blocker. It filled so fast it was all I could do to pop the battery from my laptop. Upon restart I noticed that my favorites was filled with garbage sites. I was able to delete all entries except for "MyRealPics" this file is 0kb. and has no file extension. I have tried renaming it but I get the same error with any method of attempted removal eg. cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. Ran Adaware to dump all the crap programs but have not been able to touch this file. Restored my comuter to yesterday, favorites was clean but problem file remained. This stuff drives me nuts!!!
