    Good one Phil My machine is clean.
    I also use PC Tools iInternet Security (Free but disable the firewall )
    and Zone Alarm (Free) for a F/W but its good to have as much protection
    as possible .

    A locked file is a file that is in use by a process running on your PC and therefore cannot be deleted.
