Hey all, i started download the paradise poker file, and i quit before it finished but it left a file on my desktop that i can't delete.

When i try to delete it, it sais that it's being used by another person or program.

When i try to run it, it sais not a valid win32 application.

There's nothing in my add/remove programs, registry, hard drive. So does anybody have an idea as to how to get rid of this file.
 
tried that i've restarted the comp since i downloaded the file still won't delete.

Or should i restart then delete the file right away..
 
i'll give that a try cileskot, and tell you how it went in a few minutes.

It didn't work, i couldnt' delete it in safe mode either.
 
Good job! Some spyware does this aswell. If it doesn't let you rename it and says you must first exit, try BruteForce uninstaller.

You can set it to remove a file before windows loads, and other usefull operations to remove such problems, works well with spyware!
 
Thanks all for your help. I downloaded it off there website but i stopped it before it finished.

I downloaded removeonboot and that took it away.
