My Bit Defender caught an infection in Docs and Settings/my
name/Application Data/install.xat. I'd like to get it off my system -
but Bit Defender says it can't move it, delete it or quarantine it.
I've tried Unlocker - but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Also, since I use the latest version of Zone Alarm and Bit Defender is
updated every day, how can an infection like this get in? Bit Defender
is real time and is supposed to check each file as it is accessed.

Thank you.

Check out this thread. Install.xat is part of a trojan process.
