I'll keep poking around Thunderbird's Inbox. I ran the code you gave me and the results are here:

----------------------
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 9C94-4550

Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32

02/08/2005 10:37 AM 417,792 ??plorer.exe
1 File(s) 417,792 bytes

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Darrell Miley\Desktop
---------------------------

On a whim I used the full path and attribute settings to try and delete the file via the command prompt. I received an "access denied" message.

I still am unable to see the file in explorer even though I have triple checked that I have the show hidden filed on in that folder and everywhere else. Is there a way to change to attribute/access control on the file so I can delete it manually?

Thanks!

Update to my post above: I used the ATTRIB command to remove all attributes from the file. No errors on the command. I then went to delete the file again using the full path name and BINGO! Got it. I re-ran the code you gave above and sure enough the file is gone!!

I am going to clean my Thunderbird inbox further and then run a Panda scan again. I'll post the results when I have them. Thanks for the help gang!!!

Ok. I cleaned the Thunderbird Inbox very thouroughly. I then ran another Panda scan. IT'S CLEAN!!!

Nohting to post from the log because it didn't create one. May I make the large assumption that this means we've got it?

You guys are the best!!
