Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - What software to get rid of rogue files. (Win-XP)
Posted: 10/7/2004 9:13:07 AM EDT
I have a spyware file that NONE of the spyware programs can get rid of. I just need to delete it, but it won't let me. I used to be able to delete files manually from windows, but you can't do that with XP. Is there any software that will allow you to delete "protected" files?
