I assume you are talking about spyware files? Whatever they are, these files have obviously locked themselves and cannot be deleted normally.\n\nThere are different ways to delete the files, but I'm only going to provide you with one cause it's the easiest to explain.\n\nYou need to reboot your PC ad go into safe mode, to go into safe mode, tape F8 while your pc is booting up, tap it continuosly, about every second.\n\nOnce you get an option screen select safe mode.\n\nThis mode will take longer to boot into windows, but it's normal.\n\nWhen you get into windows you may get a help screen, or an option for the help screen or safe mode, close the hlp screen and/or select safemode.\n\nNow you will be able to go and delete your files that you couldn't before.\n\nDepending on your spyware, you may find that when you reboot your pc, the files reapear, this is due to the main spyware files still remaining on your pc, I use Microsoft Anti-Spyware and Nortons anti-virus to keep my pc clean.

You most likely have a virus and/or a corrupt file.  Search the exact error message on a working PC and see if there is a removal tool that you can download to use on the affected PC.

Yes, if you have Windows XP you open up Start>>all programs>>Accessories>>system tools>>Disc cleanup\n\nwhen that opens up it will show you everything you can get rid of. You will want to get rid of the temporary internet files. You can view them before you delete them if you like.

Hmmm...i had that problem once..and found it was a file i had downloaded recently..when i deleted it..the problem stopped.\n\nRun anti-spyware and anti-virus scans..if that all fails..do a system restore..or a reformat and re-install.

You can erase this by following steps (If you are using IE)\nGo to Browser's 'Tools->Internet Option' Menu\nClick on 'Clear History' button, this will remove the website links but won't remove the cookies and files downloaded whili visiting the sites\nTo Do that click on 'Settings' which will open another window where you have to click on 'View Files'\nThis will open an explorer window where you can delete all by selecting all or selectd ones which you can identify by your website name.
