I tried to download driver cleaner pro from theguruof3d.com well once it was downloaded i tried to run it and I got a quick ms-dos window to appear but nothing after that....now I cant delete the bad file i downloaded because it says it is in use by another program or person. I have rebooted to get rid of it but it just keeps saying the same thing..also it isnt in the task manager either. I tried safe mode as well to get rid of the darn thing....I did manage to install driver cleaner from this site but i still have that nagging little running program i cant get rid of and it bothers me :P please help

Try deleting the file by using command prompt. Don't have Explorer open when you try this.

I have no idea what it is, because my program does not use a dos window by the install. I think Guru3D modded the file orso.

What you can do is use the program Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) and install that. That program can unlock files and such that are in use. Then you can delete it. Also search in the registry for the filename and delete that.
