Hey guys!
I have Windows XP installed in my computer, i had a lot of virus issues so turned this feature OFF : Hide system files and setting.
Now there is a file names "thumbs.db" in almost all the folders. When i scan it with antivirus software, it shows "No threats detected". Which file is this and how do i delete this permanently? When i delete this file, it comes back again!
Worried! Please help!
Hey guys!
Even i have the same issue. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Even i see these files in all the folder since the day i installed Vista and changed the view settings to show all files. Is this a virus? I hope not otherwise the antivirus would have detected it...!
Please help!
hey guys!
I guess it is a system file which is used for thumbnails of images. But the question is it is shown in almost all the folders even which doen't contain any image or icon files! Now that is what starts me getting worried about...!
Can anyone help?
Its not a virus. Its a Thumbnails database file. Whenever you open a folder with Thumbnail view, it creates the thumbs.db file for that folder. Its not a virus so no need to worry about it...! This file stands for It stands for THUMBnail DataBase.
Have Fun!
