How do you know it is a virus ?

afasrv32.exe file information
The process Afa Card Reader Service belongs to the software Afa Card Reader Service
Do you happen to have a card reader in your system ?

Why can't it be deleted, not that deletion is a good first choice as you have none left.

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here, post the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. You can't do this with the file securely in the chest, you need to Open the chest and right click on the file and select 'Extract' it to a temporary (not original) location first, see below.

Create a folder called Suspect in the C:\ drive. Now exclude that folder in the File System Shield, Expert Settings, Exclusions, Add, type (or copy and paste) C:\Suspect\*
That will stop the File System Shield scanning any file you put in that folder.
