Another useful download is RemoveOnBoot

It is for deleting files that Windows refuses to allow you to delete while running. I've had to use it to get rid of some persistent spy-ware.

RemoveOnBoot is a shell extension and once installed it puts a new option in the menu that opens when you right-click on the file's icon. If you click on it, it sets the file up for deletion during the next reboot before Windows can lock it.
