XP OS using spyware files?

I just recently cleaned some spyware off my computer with
Spybot S&D, but there's a folder called BDE (BDE Projector)
with 3 files under it that both Spybot and Ad aware claim as
being spyware.

The folder and files all contain zero bytes, but I can't
delete them because the computer tells me that these files are
used by the operating system. It's probably not bothering anything,
but I would like to get rid of it if possible. Is there a way? Or is
there a way to find out what part of the system is referencing these
files? I use XP.


TIA...Greg

Reboot to Safe Mode and then try it.
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.

Thanks Jupiter! It worked. I went into safe mode and took
ownership of the folders. All gone.
