I’ve noticed something strange. There is a file in My Documents that I can’t delete. It’s something like picture but I can neither open it nor delete it. I’m thinking that this may be a virus of some kind and I don’t know how to clear it. Do you have any idea how to behave in situations like this one?

It’s most probably a virus, at least from my experience. I suppose that you are a bit reckless and that you don’t have anti virus program or you don’t update the one you have that often and in no time there is a virus on your PC. I suggest you to run the anti virus software you’re using and check your PC, but it’s strange that there are no other manifestations of that virus. If it’s not a virus, maybe it’s just a corrupt file that you can’t open and you forgot that you had downloaded. For example, I’ve been downloading some themes for my cell phone recently and they work on the phone but I can’t open them on my PC despite of the fact that they’re in JPG format.
