you might have a virus, that happened to me. i made a backup and reinstalled windows. or, you could try an antivirus program, like nortons.

Try deleting the file using Gipo's MoveonBoot:\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/MoveOnBoot.shtml\n\nYou might need to delete the file, before your computer starts up, so that it won't continue to replicate.\n\nBtw, what's the name of the file?

I used to face the same problem too. It is because of "browser hijacker". \n\nThe simplest way to remove the About:Blank adware is to use a specially designed tool and clean up your system. Step one is to flush out all the temp files on your system: Cookies, Temporary Internet Files and Temp files (you can do this via Internet Explorer's Tools-Internet Options or for a more thorough clean, use a privacy tool such as Tracks Eraser Pro 5). Next up, get a copy of CWShredder. This should kill CoolWebSearch and allow you to change your home page from About:Blank, plus it will kill those pop up windows.\n\nIf these options don't work, you may need a more in-depth tool .\n\nThe About:Blank deception is devious enough already - it may be altered in the future, so keep an eye out for other programs that contain it (main sources: free programs with adware files) - and stay clear. Finally, consider adding an anti-adware tool to work next to your anti-virus software.

I fully recommend the use of a program Crap Cleaner. Yes! That's the real name! You can download it from www.download.com. Reviews are the best. This program will make your computer fly! It will remove everything and more that you can't see. I discovered it a few months ago. It's free and you won't have to spend any money in expensive software that does not do anything. Download it and get that crap cleaned! (Including those "programs" in your start menu. They are just unused icons)\n\nGood luck..

Yup, safe mode is the ticket.  Or get a startup manager like WinPatrol or StartupCop and kill them that way.\n\nSometimes you can just rename them - the next time Windows starts it may balk at the missing file but by then you  don't care.\n\nMake sure when you do a manual delete like this search for copies of that file stored as a "automatic backup DLL" to make sure it doesn't come back and haunt you.

It may be in use by your computer. Ctrl-Alt-Del and see if it's on the list. You could end task then try. But, I'd make sure it isn't a necessary file first.

Do you know what is causing it to hang?  In other words, have you gone into task manager and seen the actual processes that are holding your machine hostage?  Also, this could be because you don't have adequate hardware to handle the software that you're running. There is a utility available which may help you.  It is called Process Explorer and is made by SysInternals.  Running this will show you what is causing your machine to hang.  It is freeware which means you can download it online free of charge.\n\nI hope that this helps.

I have had this problem before, if you are sure its not an important file and its probably not if its on your desktop, you have probably allready deleted them but your system has not picked up on them being deleted yet, this happens to me sometimes after my computer has been on for a while, you just need to refresh your screen, or if that does not work try just to reboot that should take care of it.

boot your computer in safe mode and then go find the file and delete it, that should work.

It depends what the program is.  Add / Remove is the best option as it should delete pretty much all traces of the program.\n\nFailing that see if there's an option to uninstall.  Use Windows Explorer to path through to the folder where the program is - normally it will be c:&#92;program files&#92;name of program.\n\nLook for a file that's called uninstall, uninst or unwise - double click it and follow the on screen instructions to delete the program.\n\nFailing that you may need to manually delete the program but unless you know the location of all the files the chances are that some of it will remain on your hard-drive.

Do you have a system restore on your computer? It will take you back before you deleted the program and you should be fine.

Check to make sure it's still on your computer.  Go to start, control panel, then add/remove programs.  Is it on the list of programs?  If not, you may have to reinstall it.  Have you tried restarting your computer?  Try that first.
