I want to delete You Ripper file from my PC and I m facing this problem.?

Question

I downloaded this program from http://www.pcauthority.com.au/download/youripper-20.aspx and it's good, but I don't watch You Tube that much, and I feel it's malware.

Please help as learning to cope with these error messages, will help in other softwares too.
When I try delete, the error message says Access Denied. Cannot delete YouRipper. It's being used by another Person or Program. Close any programs that may be using this file.

There are 2 programs that cannot be deleted. One reads message as above. Another reads: Cannot delete AutoItDLL.ll. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently, not in use.

The Lunatic! I must thank you for your help. Your method really worked. If anybody else offers his advice on this problem, you're most welcome, but I think I got what I needed.

Answer 1

All that means is you need to open your TASK MANAGER (ALT, CTRL, DELETE) and look through your processes. Find youripper on the processes, (it might say something else other than youripper), END TASK on it so that the computer isn't using it. Then uninstall it.

Remember to look through PROCESSES and not just applications in your task manager.

Answer 2

It means that one or more files used by the program is being loaded during boot up. Simply reboot the PC in Safe Mode (Repeatedly press the F8 key during boot up until you gives you the Safe Mode option) and it will only load the minimun files needed to start Windows. You should be able to uninstall the program while in Safe Mode. Then reboot to return to Normal Mode.

Answer 3

The program is in use. Either its running or another program is running it. Restart your computer in safe mode (restart your pc and hold down F8 until you hear a beep while rebooting. Select safe mode in the appending menu). Then you shuld be able to delete the program.
