When I try and delete this disgusting file, I know not how it got on my
computer, It says Access Denied and make sure ine disk is not full or write
protected and that the file is not currently in use. I tried to see if it was
a read only file and it isn't, but I can't erase it. Someone help please,
thankyou.
P.S. It's a pornography program and I'm a christian, and I don't want that
garbage on my computer and I want protection for my computer so it dosent
happen again.
Thankyou.

It would be best to boot into Safe Mode, search for the file,
then delete it.
