Hi,

Your observation is important and viruses do cause such hassles, but my question is why didn`t you clean the virus?
Immidietly boot from the optical drive using a bootable CD / DVD, run a good anti virus from that optical drive and scan and clean all drives.

Re boot and you will be able to do your intended job.
Thank you.

Dear friend,

You have said that your PC is infected with viruses. Deleting a file with a suspicious virus is not recommended way to
remove virus.
The viruses should be removed by branded anti-virus software only. These anti-virus softwares remove the virus from the file and put
the viruses in a folder called as its chest. The chest is under constant monitoring from the antivirus program.

You can delete the viruses from antivirus program. And the deleted viruses don’t go to your recycle bin.
They are deleted permanently from your computer.

Thanks!
