Why can't I delete viruses in my computer even after I press delete?
Most viruses are embedded in various files (such as images and programs) and when you open those files, the virus, which is actually a program embedded within the file is executed and create files on your computer which cause various problems (the problems are very specific to what type of virus you get). So deleting the file in which the virus was embedded will not remove the virus. The files created by the virus are often created in "secure" locations on your hard-drive, locations which are responsible for maintaining your operating system (Windows) and can not be deleted by hand (unless you have admin rights for your user). Here is where Anti Virus software comes in. This type of software have the ability to remove viruses from these locations, and if they cant, they "quarantine" them (shield them, making them unable to do harm).
