Hey, long time since ive posted in here but I need some help

I downloaded a mod for RTW (all playable races) from a trusted site (normally no virusses)

now I downloaded this file to my desktop, no problems yet, unzip the file to another folder and when I try to delete the file by pressing on my destop by pressing "Delete" my mouse changes into the hourglass and shortly after that my comp freezes, then I try right clicking the file and same thing, hourglass and freeze

I have no Idea how to get rid of this thing


*EDIT*

No worries folks I got rid of it, if youve read this and wanted to help thanks but I fixed it

How'd you delete it? I have this program on my other machine that I cannot ever get rid of it. It says the process has to be exited, so one day I just quit them all but the main ones and it still said the same thing.

You can't uninstall it, b/c it's an installer. It's not a known virus, I've scanned it with many types of software.

I've tried going into safe mode and deleting it that way. That doesn't work... I tried to just move it into another folder just so it can get off the desktop, but it made a copy and now I can't delete either of them. :/

never ever download to your desktop, always put it in a folder. Like for example, in your My Documents folder....create a folder called downloads

Try Zipping it into a zip file, then open that Zip file and while in the Zip file click "Delete" it will delete the zip file, thats how I deleted my file, hope that helps

whatever you have on the desktop Windows has to keep track of more intensely than if it were just filed away in a folder. Add those whole programs to all the shortcuts and crap and Windows is keeping track of a lot of stuff on the desktop and we all know how that usually ends up....every few months you're formatting that sucker aren't ya Wink

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
