Problem with Windows Security Essentials


Recommended Posts

I did a scan last night and WSE detected:

containerfile:H:\Tiny\TinyXP-Rev10.iso

file:C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\TinyXP-Rev10.iso.lnk

file:H:\Tiny\TinyXP-Rev10.iso->XP01\I386\CMDOW.EX_->cmdow.exe

Now I'm having it remove the file, and it's been at it for at least 2 hours now. Is cleanup supposed to take this long? Usually WSE is pretty quick when it comes to deleting stuff.

I think the problem is with vista's delete feature. I tried to delete the files manually but they were taking forever. The .lnk file was just a recent files shortcut, so I deleted that first.

The H drive stuff were on my external, so I just booted up XP instead and it deleted in like a split second. Another reason to hate vista, I guess.

If I delete all the files mentioned here:

H:\Tiny\TinyXP-Rev10.iso

file:C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\TinyXP-Rev10.iso.lnk

file:H:\Tiny\TinyXP-Rev10.iso->XP01\I386\CMDOW.EX_->cmdow.exe

That should fix the problem right? I mean, it's just like manually doing what MSE what have done anyways.
