1.
http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=340165
I downloaded the trainer. I played with it, beat the game, whatever. Done with it. I deleted it. Or I should say, I tried to delete it. When I tell the computer to delete the folder it says "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk"

I tried deleting it's contents first, but it can't delete the folder even when empty. Any suggestions?

2. *READ BOTTOM OF POST*

I once got some troublesome virus about a toolbar ad or something on my Web browser and it brought up this one page advertising it as my homepage no matter how many times I tried to reset it. I didn't then know the magic of "Add or Remove Programs" or the search button in the start menu. I found online a program called "STOPzilla" that said it could delete it. I installed it, and then I figured out how to remove the virus WITHOUT using STOPzilla. So I removed the virus successfully. Then I knew I didn't need STOPzilla, so I removed it in the wrong way. I went to the folder where I had it and deleted its files systematically instead of "Add or Remove Programs" and THEN deleting the files systematically. I deleted all files but one called "SZIEBHO.dll"
If I try to delete it I wait a few seconds and then error box with this message comes up:
"Cannot delete SZIEBHO: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again."

If I try deleting STOPzilla from "Add or Remove Programs," I get a box titled "STOPzilla" and it says "Please wait while windows configures STOPzilla. Then I get an error box with a LONG error message


Hold on. I'll edit this when my computer restarts, please concentrate on the FIRST problem, I might have figured out the second one

Open up Regedit and Navigate to the following

HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Uninstall and expand it.

Under that you'll see a list of folders with random IDs.
Look through each one and you'll see StopZilla.

Delete that registry entry to remove it from the uninstall list.

Or use CCleaner if you don't want to mess with your registry.

CCleaner didn't do it. STOPzilla highlighted on the list, pressed "delete," and "Cannot delete MSI installer" message comes up. WTF? Obviously, I don't want to mess with the registry.
