The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts.

Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XPADDER file again. However, some background programs may block the XPADDER file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
