Hi,
I have downloaded a video file from torrents. It is a fake file zipped inside a rar. It asked to install BitGrabber
when I tried to unzip it. I couldn't even unzip it because it asked for password. So I tried to delete the file,But I couldn't.
The following message is thrown by windows when I try to delete it. "Error deleting file or folder:being used by another file or program"

-I tried using 'unlocker' but It couldn't delete the file.
-I scanned that rar and found no malwares/viruses (scanned using AVG AV,Ewido,Spybot SD and AVG Antispy)
-I tried to delete it through safe mode but it didn't work.
-When I checked it, no process is using that file
-I couldn't delete it through 'move on boot' methods
-I have cygwin and tried to delete it through it's shell,But I couldn't delete it.
-I checked ../SystemProperties./../AVI/..default value in registry it is 0


Can anybody please help me to get rid of this file, I'm sick of this file,it has occupied 700MB of space in my HD

ps: I posted this in some other thread and haven't got any reply.Nay be that is not the correct thread, hence posted it here.

Thanks
-John-
