    Hi All,

    I'm using Widows, I have found a suspicious file, I tried shift-del to get rid of it but no success. Windows was somehow protecting it, saying the file was in use, is there a way around this menace? Plz share us you wisdom...

    Well, it would be much more helpful if you just give more details, but i will tell a few quick ones,
    1. first check in the task manager if that file is in processes, if it is then just end that process and then try deleting.
    2. Give your computer a restart and then try deleting it.

    if you provide more details then might be able to give you a more accurate solution
