Today when I downloaded a "free" game, I got some files
added to my hard drive that take over my internet browser
and redirect it to a page I don't want. I have found the
added folder and files on my c drive, but when I try to
delete them, I get an error message saying they are write
protected and cannot be deleted. How can I get rid of
them?
 
To add: You have now learned that the word FREE in cyberspace usually has consequences...
