    I had this happen once, but it was not a virus for me.

    If you cannot delete the files you may need to rename them first. If you cannot rename them you need to trick XP into thinking it is off.

    Do this by cntrl-alt-del and then choose task manager.
    Look at the processes running and stop explorer.exe. Leave this open and go to file run and then browse to that hard drive and rename the files you want to some other name or delete them from there.
    When you are done (you still have the task manager open right?) choose run and then type explorer.exe again.
    This should take you back to where you started. From here you can delete the newly named files, and XP cant stop you.
