Deleting Software

[Guest]

I am having trouble deleting a piece of software that I
downloaded to my computer. It is called command anti
virus and came free with a computer magazine

Everytime I try and delete it the following message
appears ;

Error deleting file or folder
Cannot delete at170 Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and
that the file is not currently in use

Anybody got any ideas how I can get rid of this. I've
being trying for ages

Are you doing this while logged in as Admininstrator or with admin
priviledges? Should be.
