I read through posts here and have not found an easy solution to my own
problem.
I used BitDefender Antivirus and everyday it prompts me 10-15 times saying
the same file contains a virus. It is a ZIP file I downloaded years ago but
made it through the move from my xp box to my vista home premium box.
The path to the zip file is: Home > Documents > Installs > file.zip
When I go to delete it, I get prompted with a box saying "Are you sure.."
and I click OK. Then it says I need to confirm it... so I click "Continue".
Then UAC takes control of the computer and asks me again to confirm.. and I
do. Then I get prompted saying "You need permission to perform this action" -
I click "Try Again" and it keeps coming up over and over again.
After reading posts here, I tried right clicking on it and choosing
Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner and it says "Unable to display
current owner" - I select my username which is setup as an Administratory and
it prompts me again saying "Access Denied".
So in short, I can even claim ownership of the file.
Remember: None of this is being done in the "Program Files" folder or any
other system folder.
