    Downloaded a file from Kazza (i know i know i shouldnt off) it doesnt work and any time i press on it (just press not run it) the Cpu useage jumps up to 100% untill i close the folder in which the file was downloaded

    ALSO i cant f-ing delete the file because "windows xp is useing it" apperently.I ran nortan anti virus which found no virus ....so what the hell is going on!

    Ctrl + Alt + Delete, select any process' that look suspicious and hit ''End process'', repeat until you are able to delete the file.

    Also, hit Start -> Run -> type msconfig -> Startup -> uncheck everything (except files you know of - this stops programs from opening when you start your pc).

    Restart your pc, download Ad-aware or Spybot Search and Destroy - google them both.

    Install them, download latest update and hit Search.
    Delete all files that come up (S&D - Fix selected files)

    delete the folder that the file is in that normally works for me when this sort of thing happens.

    make sure no other files in there are needed though
