Vista---- access denied question

Almost new Acer laptop w/vista. i found a file with 15 cookies and when I try to delete I get the A/denied crap. I am the only user.also firefox is not delete all cookies. What the hell is up with that.

What else is on my computer that I don,t know about ? I also run c cleaner every nite.

stay safe

Run a scan for virus, malware etc.. That is usually why a file can't be deleted at least in my experience..
