I was downloading a torrent that turned out to be a video that I did not want. after clicking on it, it started to play in Windows Media player (Vista 64bit). I deleted the torrent and ran ccleaner to get rid of all that garbage. A few days later, I was looking through the windows media for a dvd I ripped and sure enough, that downloaded video was in the "now playing" section and starts to play the video as soon as you click on the play button. I then ran a system restore back to about 4-5 days ago, turned the computer on, opened media player, clicked the play button, and it still loads that video clip and starts to play it. How do I get rid of this garbage????? Why is it still under the now playing list if I have deleted it from my comp????????

play another video. It will replace it.

So is it a temporary file that deletes the old videos once a new one has been played, or could this be some type of virus that wont go away?

Find it in WMP, right click on it, go to properties. It'll tell you where it's playing the file from.
