A few months ago I tried to load some phone connectivity software onto my computer but it appears to be incompatible with my computer.

I think that I have identified the files that are the problem but I cannot delete them as they are protected files, dose anyone know how I can delete these files or at least stop them from trying to install each time I start the computer?
