checked the folder properties and its ticked as read only, when I change this I get the are you sure question then ok but it just re ticks the box so not allowing me to delete it

Reboot and then try deleting the folder.

tried that Simon and still same.Malwarebytes uninstall needed an auto re boot to complete but I have also tried it after with no luck


theres only 1 file left in the folder, a .dll file

Have you tried deleting the file first and then the folder, Baz? that's worked for me in the past when I've had that problem.

Failing which, try booting into safe mode, Baz.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe should do it.

If that doesn't work there are a series of commands you can run that will allow you to take control of the file/directory and remove it but they are not easy to explain. Ultimately, if nothing else works, there are many utilities that usually do work either directly or after a reboot. http://lockhunter.com/ is one of them.
