What is the actual NAME of the file, and where did you download it

from?

[Guest rive0108]

Some files will not delete if they are "in use"

Ctrl>Alt>Delete (at same time) locate program, end it, then delete

file. Also run a antimalware scanner.

Download and install Spybot Search & Destroy; link below.

Scan your System in Safe Mode; info below.

 

 

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

 

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.

Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.

Then SCAN with it.

Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

 

Important re: Safe Mode

If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot

the computer, and go into Safe Mode.

To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow

key to get to Safe Mode, then hit ENTER.

RESCAN your computer with your anti-virus and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode.
