deleting files

[joe c]

I am under the impression that a file on my computer,
namely limeshop0.exe, is the source of many of these
mysterious pop-up adds that surface onto my screen when I
am minding my own business. I attempted to delete this
file and received the error message: Cannot delete :
Limeshop0.exe: Access denied....

How can I override this obstacle in order to delete this
file? Does renaming all the sub-files undermine it?

Thanks a million!

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