I would boot into safe mode, (reboot, press F8 when you see the blinking
cursor, select safe mode) find the file, and delete it, reboot normally.
However, I suspect that it would reappear, so I would recommend you download
Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy and Spyware Blaster. Run them and
check out what your system has that can be cleaned out.

All are free of charge. Remember that once yopu clean out spyware or adware
you may not be able to run the programs that installed them.

I have the same problem as Ryan, can't delete a downloaded file that I
think is messing up my computer. I am a "tech-tard" and need step by step
instructions. The file is SAH agent, some shop at home file that one of the
kids downloaded. It says it's write protected or in use. I read the answer
to "ask the administrator for permission to delete". but if I own the
computer, aren't I the administrator?
