A folder has been downloaded without my permission into
my programme files. I now have sufficient security
measures to stop this happening again but I want to
delete the folder. IEsearchbar.dll was downloaded and I
cannot delete it - it says Access is denied make sure
disk is not full or write protected and that the file is
not currently in use. I am the system administrator but
don't know how to get around this problem.
