What file? Could you post its name and path?

Maybe it is password protected (by Windows or other program) or it's on the Restore System folder and is blocked by the system...

Meaning your whole disk??  Surely not -- could you be more specific?

When I do a full (and thorough) on-demand scan, the report will typically show about 20 files that couldn't be scanned because "in use by another process", plus the system-restore one which is "access denied".

I can't understand... Would you be so kind to take a little bit more time and write more about your trouble? I can't figure out what is wrong, what is your problem...
