My roommate cannot delete a file he picked up from a friend.

We backed up a friend's entire hard drive to my roommates computer, but when
tried to delete all of the files everything deleted except for a link file.
It is a link with a very naughty title.  We have no idea where our friend
got it and of course he is not around for questioning.  We've tried using a
hard drive scrubber and the eraser program on the SSS cd.  Yesterday, we
tried to run the sobig worm removal utility from Symantec and it crashes
everytime it runs once it runs across this abominable link file.  When we
try to delete it regularly we get an error saying the source file cannot be
found.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this or what we can do
to get rid of this file?

He's running WinXP on a Dell machine.

thanks,

john
