haha i had the same problem.. it would tell you that it cannot be deleted and i couldn't delete manually as well.. but if you run the scan itself it will quarantine it.... so just run a full system scan that should get rid of it

Get norton it is a lot better. Sometime they say that you have a virus but wont delete it. Therefore you must delete it manually. GO through your files, which it wil say how to get to it, and delete it.

I do much of the same for lawyers, doctors, and private schools..

I find SPYWARE is a bigger issue than viruses currently..
