Need utility program to delete file

[ddeder]

I have a virus on my computer which has infected the c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll file. I cannot delete this file as the virus has it locked. I have tried everything I can think of... Safe mode, boot from Windows XP CD, MoveOnBoot program, etc...

Does anyone know of a free utility that can delete locked files that actually works!?

I would try putting the hard drive in a usb enclosure and deleting it that way.

1. Use the command prompt C:> del command after changing its attributes (attrib command), and if that doesn't work,
2. Use a Knoppix live CD or Bart PE or UBCD4Win CD, locate the file and delete
