Recycle Bin - Cannot Delete Folder

This looks like a virus or a trojan horse. When I try to empty (am not sure
what files are those) it says do you want to delete "Windows". When I say
"Yes" it gives me the following error message

Error Deleting File or Folder

"Cannot remove folder D@1: This operation is supported only when you are
connected to the server".

I googled and searched for any info, but could not find anything related to
this. Any info that I can be provided please.

Windows XP SP2
McAfee Internet Security is installed
Windows Defender is also installed

I am not sure when this started but just couple of days back and am not sure
what site I would have visited for me to have this. I keep scanning my
system for spyware, adwares and trojans and try deleting it. But, this is
something I am kinda stumped.
