I had the same thing happen recently, and it turned out to be
explorer.exe, a virus thingie that resides in the Windows Fonts
directory. You can read about it in the various online virus
files. AVG detected and healed two virus thingies that apparently
sprang from explorer.exe and were in my Win32 folder, but as near
as I can tell, the system recognizes it as a system file and so
opposes deletion. My guru had to go into command lines (I think
that's what you call it? The little black box where you use DOS
or something similar?), rename the file, and then delete it. I
also have the free AVG version and have been perfectly happy with
it until this happened. Now, we'll see how happy I continue to
be. :)

MM> Do you think that's because I had the free version?
