    Impossible to change permissions or take ownership over file.


    Windows 10 64-bit

    I have a file that AVG Antivirus Free has detected as a Trojan-gen with the name "DBcHMDC" this file is located in the "C:\ProgramData" folder.

    When i ask AVG to solve the issue, it isn't able to do anything. So i went to check on the file myself, it turns out i do not even have permission to read the file. I have searched the name of the file on the internet but it looks like it is a random name.


    This is what the security tab looks like compared to what i believe to be the normal security tab on files:

    Impossible to change permissions or take ownership over file. 0f73027d-4b52-4eda-b997-796c6f00dee4?upload=true.png

    I am from the Netherlands so my language is dutch in the operating system right now. But it basically just says you do not have "reading permissions". when you continue on in the the advanced tab it just has the same message or something related to not being administrator, but i have 100 % confirmed that i am administrator. when trying to change permissions of the parent folder and even the C: drive this file turned up as an exception not allowing me to change permissions. I also have not identified an active program that this file is accessing.

    I might be missing something here maybe a stupid mistake.


    *Little side note

    the reason why i downloaded AVG along with malwarebytes is because i had my edge browser redirect every time i clicked on a google search result to a yahoo search engine with the same subject in the search bar as i searched in the google. malwarebytes had stopped that but i still get messages from the program that it is stopping a trojan program when i use edge. So i thought this file might be related to that issue.


    thanks to anyone who tries to help me.

    i am not certain what other information i need to provide but i will see in the reactions i get i guess.

    :)

    file permissions/ownership troubles

    a while back my main user account got corrupted somehow and the only way to get to my files was to take ownership of them in my other admin account. but now i'm stuck with having to retake ownership of these files every time i try to access it from another computer or user account, which makes sharing multimedia to my xbox 360 impossible. is there a way to just remove all of these permission settings back to normal? its REALLY getting frustrating with the access denied crap, its even interfering with some .msi install files. *Mad Impossible to change permissions or take ownership over file. :mad:*Cry :cry:

    this also puts my new computer build on hold since i need to transfer the files but i'm stuck with the ownership crap

    edit: btw its on windows xp pro sp3

    Impossible to change permissions or take ownership over file.

    Cannot delete files because of permission error- cannot change permissions

    I just purchased a laptop running windows 10. From the moment i started working with it i noticed i couldn't delete any files. So i did the research and found the method of changing the permissions by going to the properties of the folders and changing
    the permissions. My laptop will not let me change the ownership of any files to me and will not let change my permissions to full control or even put me on the list of permissions for files. Each time i hit apply it says "changing ownership of.." and shows
    all this stuff, but in the end i get an error message saying that i couldn't get control of all of the file i just chose. Please help?
