Yeah, I'm pretti pissed about this message. On some files that I found that were apparently viruses, and some files I found that are unknown to me, I try to delete them. However, when I try to delete them, it says Access Denied because a user or program is using this file. How can I get rid of this message, I've tried getting rid of all the processes that I found unecessary, all programs running that were unecessary I ended, but STILL the message keeps coming up. Help please, thanks! By the way, I'm using Windows XP Home Edtion with SP1 (Im upgrading to SP2 very soon)
