In my C: drive, there is a file that when I open or try to delete, access is denied.?

recently before this post, I took some measures to clean my computer of virus and grayware, which there were a lot, and did some disk defgramentation, which was at about 35 percent. The file in question is a folder named "23d54fle3dc3ebc3cba6fe0b," which has another folder inside of it named "7757c09F9d6abc44877b5." I'm pretty sure this is a virus.

no its not a virus.. its just a folder being used by the system..


when some thing is being used by some other programe.. then it says access is denied
Reply:It is used currently by O.S. or any program.. so shows access denied . But if u are sure to remove it .. then try this..


Shutdown the system...


Start in safe mode.


Now u can delete it most probably...
Reply:no, it is not a virus. I bet it is in your WINDOWS folder in your hard drive., look at its complete locatation if you don't know by right clicking it and hitting "properties" at the bottom of the list. If it is in the folder "WINDOWS" or "system32" or something, don't worry about it.
