If you know the file name and extension, try Googling the name with the extension.

You will find links that will help you eradicate the problem.

In addition to post #1, many viruses and computer "bugs" or "malware" cannot be removed by just deleting files. You need to update your virus protection software (which you should be using) and re-run the scan, and if this doesn't get rid of the problem then check the internet for a patch that will remove the specific virus from your system.

And whatever you do, if you've gotten one like I had, don't give in and surrender your credit card number to get the cure they're selling!

I had the same problem with my XP. So I tried accessing the file thru Ubuntu (it is dual booting) and had it deleted.
