Windows 10: Every time I try to download something it says it has a virus and was deleted.

I am having an issue on my computer where everytime I try to download a file it says a virus was detected and was deleted. Recently I have wanting to use my computer for my zoom calls but when I try downloading it A bar pops up asking to run or save I hit run and says running security scan but it takes maybe a second for it to say "A virus was detected and deleted". I am currently running Windows 10 on my Lenovo 110-15ISK. I can't run files, pictures, pdf nothing I have tried removing the anti-virus protection and changing the settings on my browsers but it still says EVERYTHING has a virus. I have also tried factory resetting my computer by removing all the files but when it starts it stays at 1% for 10 minutes then says "Undoing Changes" then it goes back to the troubleshoot screen and says "There was a problem resetting your PC". Can someone please help me fix this problem?

oops virus

Okay we've had our fun, time to be helpful. Please post a screenshot of ctrl-alt-delete (aka task manager) with all the running tasks listed. From there, we can isolate what your virus is. And other then that, yes, download Avast, run the boot time scan, and press "delete all" when it finds the culprit *Smile .

 

New Virus Comes Disguised as IE7 Download

If you receive an e-mail offering a download of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, delete it. A new virus is spreading all over the web. The e-mail includes a convincing graphic that looks like it could really be from Microsoft, and the virus is delivered when recipients click on the included link. The e-mails carry the subject line "Internet Explorer 7 Downloads" and appear to come from admin@microsoft.com. They include a blue, Microsoft-style graphic offering a download of IE 7 beta 2. Clicking the graphic will download an executable file called IE 7.exe. The file is actually a new virus called Virus.Win32.Grum. Security experts are still trying to analyze the virus, which may affect your registry, mail contact list or steal personal information from your computer.

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
