I can't delete a file that has been downloaded off a p2p network, "Limewire," the file is located in my "My Music" directory and it wont let me do anything with it, i believe its a virus. It wont let me right click on it to view options, it wont let me open it, it wont let me view its properties, wont let me rename it, wont let me drag it into recylcing bin, wont let me delete it using the file tab in window, wont let me delete it in safe mode either. Its a video file and is 6.03 mgbs.Can someone please help me get rid of this file before i have to pay geeks on call to get rid of it for 100 bucks!?!? =(
Thanks
-Dave

also, why not change to Frostwire (same as Limewire) as it has no nag screens and no spy or adware incl.
