hurl.exe won't delete..

[Dexterium]

I was on Amazon.com and I tried to DL a sample of a song and I got an exe file.. I am guessing that it is a virus. it is called hurl.exe and its location is my desktop, and when I try to delete it, it says it is in use by another program. I also tried to quarantine this file and it wouldn't work. Does anyone know what to do to delete this file? Thanks.

boot into safe mode and then try if that doesnt work post back.

press crtl+alt+del to get into the task manager and end the process explorer.exe. Then in the task manager goto file>new task. Type in cmd for command prompt and delete the file. Then go back to the new task and re activat explorer!

cannot delete hurl.exe

I'm using win98se, can anyone suggest how I can delete hurl.exe?

 

[elzorro]

deleting the file is the problem! I can't from wherever I try. regedit doesn't do what you're saying it does in win98
