dont know if I am in the correct place to ask this.
I need help with my computer. I use Kazaa light. Recently I downloaded a movie. That was fine. Then I noticed other uses trying to download it form my computer - that was fine. Then however I stopped them downloading from my computer by exiting Kazaa abruptly. I have watched the movie and would like to delete it from my system or at least move it. Unfortunately I keep getting an error message saying that I cant move/delete the file cause it is current;y being used by another person or program - it says this even when Kazaa is not open and even when i am not connected to the internet. It is a legit movie but I can't seem to be able to do anything with it. Can someone please suggest a way of getting rid of the movie for me.
Thanks in advance...

Are you using Explorer or Kazaa's My Shared folder to remove it?
Couple of things, you may have downloded a virus.

Download AVG Free edition and scan the system.

Now download Adware from:
http://www.lavasoft.nu
(Kazaalite doesn't have spyware but it may be from somewhere else)

Now, boot into DOS and type
DEL c:\Windows\MySharedFolder\"name of file goes here"
(this is assuming that the path to your My Shared Folder is as above)

If this doesn't work, boot into Windows, rename the file in Explorer and try to delete it.
OR
Remove Kazaalite and delete the movie from the folder using Explorer then reinstall Klite.
I've seen this happen for about two weeks with another computer, it just worked one day and the file was deleted?!?

Uninstall the Peer points manager service...last time I used Kazaa (then promptly deleted it) the altnet PeerPoints junk was installed. Just stop that service and you should be gold.
