    Help!!! How to delete infected files???


    Dear Friends,

    I am not able to delete files from my external hard disk. Whenever I try to delete any file it says admin protected. I also tried to delete some files using cmd prompt but it also says access denied. I think my external hard disk is infected. I cannot format the whole disk since I have got some necessary files in it. Please help me out.
