Not a a virus or a trojan horse This is a common problem.
I have seen this myself on my machine.
[[Are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS?]]
Makes you stop and think when you see that message, doesn't it? ;-)
You probably have a damaged/corrupted file in the Recycle Bin.
Run Error Checking | Reboot | Try to empty the Recycle Bin again.
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the volume you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Select both of these:
o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
For a peek at the chkdisk log.
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK
Look in Application | Listed as Information
under Winlogon, Event 1001

In news:%23DXgwvAfGHA.2456@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Felix <jfkind@xxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
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.
