problems unistalling

[DavidR]

Unlocker is supposed to be able to unlock them (and or end the process locking them) and both should be able to delete on reboot, you have some very strange things going on in your system.

sorry but the link you sent me just seems to be on about the little ball problem in system tray

I think that 'Dinah' may have been thinking tha Windows Defender or a similar program might have been protecting these files, personally I don't think that is the problem.

As Igor mentions strange.

You could try these programs:
- Unlocker http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ is also good as it also has a few additional features to not only delete the files but stop any process that is stopping you from deleting a file.
Or
- MoveOnBoot http://www.snapfiles.com/get/moveonboot.html

Now one or other of them should be able to remove these files, if it doesn't it is the first time I have ever com accross this with unlocker.

True, security apps come to my mind when I was thinking of something other than OS locking other apps.  BTW, why do you quote the forum name by any chance?

Sorry to hear that.  I agree that the situation is strange.  Have you tried them with the combination of safe mode?

[crasher]

any ideas how i can unlock these files please

[Lisandro]

neither of those programs work

Try KillBox (www.killbox.net).
Or, in the last case, Delete FXP (http://www.jrtwine.com/).

Hey, this is different. You're saying that you COULD delete but it's coming back... that's another problem.
If a virus is replicant (coming and coming again), you should:

1) Disable System Restore on Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;%5BLN%5D;310405
2) Clean your temporary files.
3) Schedule a boot time scanning with avast. Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot.
4) Use a-squared, Free AVG Antispyware, SUPERantispyware or Spyware Terminator (trojan removers).

i never said it keeps comming back!! i just CAN'T delete the files

Sorry, I've misunderstood.
Maybe the only possibility is running chkdsk (check disk) at boot time.
Go to My Computer, choose the partition (C:\) where the file is, choose Properties and then on the window that opens, click on Tools.
Check the disk and ask for all options of fixing.
Most probably you'll be asked to 'schedule' this running on the new boot. Accept it.
Boot.

      Have You tried
      Safe Mode
      Admin. Rights
      Check + Change File Permissions
    Unlocker

   Can You look at the File ?  Avast or ?

[Lisandro]

nope that did not work still cant delete the files

But what is the exactly error message that you're receiving now?
For what reason can't you delete the files?
Did you try to delete them in Safe Mode using KillBox?
Are you logged as an administrator or this machine?
