Ah, maybe this is why she hasn't replied to me?

Try this:

1) Update your virus definitions.

2) Boot into safe mode

3) Try to delete that file.

4) Do a full system scan in safe mode.

Open Norton AV.

Click "Live Update".

Follow the prompts to update the definitions (unless this is done at least once a week an AV program is pretty much useless).

2) Boot into safe mode

I included instructions in the URL, but a short version is:

Reboot your computer, after BIOS loads start tapping F* and then select to boot into safe mode.

3) Try to delete that file.

Just find the file, and try to delete it.

4) Do a full system scan in safe mode.

Open Norton AV and run a scan of your computer.
