Hi STPETE_MC,

Welcome to the forum.
Please elaborate a bit. Was this File identified as you were using your computer for work or was it identified during a scan initiated by you. Can you alo mention if you have other security software installed on your machine.

Which is the error message? Acess denied? File in use?
We will need more information to be able to help you:
- Which OS are you using? Is it up to date?
- What was the filename and path where the virus was found?
- Do you use a firewall? Which one?
- Do you have any other antivirus installed in your system?  Did you have in the past?
- Any other security programs that could interfere?
