Can't remove "read only" Attribute
I am running Windows 7 x64. I have a D:\ for which I am an Administrator. On my D:\ drive I copied a folder. When I right click on this folder it shows the "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder) attribute is Checked. I will Uncheck this and click apply or OK. I close properity applet. Then, I right click on the folder again and the Read-only attribute is Checked again. No matter what I've tried it will not keep my settings. I've turned Off UAC, I've added my ID even though it's already in the Administrators group and nothing I do works. What gives? mqh7

I remember having the same issue on one of my systems, turned out to have been a malware infection. It would be a good idea to run a full scan of your system with Security Essentials and Spybot Search and Destroy.
