Hello,

So here's the thing, I downloaded a folder off the internet, and when I opened it I noticed something fishy, a software that said 'you are connected to a remote computer, the administrator of this connection has access to your computer' (something like that)
So I decided to immediately delete the folder.

However, when I try to delete it, I get the following error message->

'This action cannot be completed because the file is open in system'

So now I think someone is trying to hack me. Quick help me to delete this folder, thanks

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 8.0

Hello,
-> Task Manager (Windows 10: right-click on the desktop)
-> Find the program in which the file is open
-> Right-click: "End Task"
-> Right-click on the concerned file
-> Delete
