I have recently downloaded an .avi file. I am trying to move it to another folder but it says that it is being used by another program. I've checked and no program is using the file. I've closed every program running and it continues to show this message.
Why does it do so? Please help!

Can't be a virus. I have the latest updates for that. It's okay for the hard drive now.

Hey thanks for your help, I will try this later.
I really don't know why this happens now. Usually it doesn't do that when I try to move or delete porn files!

Try using Ad-Aware or PestPatrol to scan for SpyWare, TrackWare, Adware. These files may be present on your system, cause many performance issues, and are not virus or worm related so your anti-virus won't pick them up.
