How can I delete write-protected files??
Last response: in Windows XP
How can I delete write-protected files? I'm trying to delete this file, but every time I try to delete it it says " Acess denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and the file is not in use."
I know I'm not using the file, and the HDD that its in still has 15 gigs of storage left. So how can I delete the file?

Try booting into Safemode and then moving the file.
What is the name of the file ?
otherwise: Download move on boot utility here

thanks! I was able to delete the file, I just hope the trojan isnt some other corner of my system as well...
EDIT: Shit! I deleted the file, but forgot the name. I had restored it via recycle bin to learn what it name was. Now when I try to delete it, "access" denied again.
I'm using the gipo exe now, I'm gonna reboot after this post...
file deleted, I THINK. Last time it was 20kb, now the folder is 8 kb... suspicous... Still, the .exe that would be running is gone, so maybe I hit it.
YAAAAY! Virus deleted!
