Help, Vista says I don't have Authority!

My computer was running slower yesterday so I opened task manager
processes to see what was running and found a ton of AOL stuff. I don'
know where it came from, but I prompty went into program files to delet
it. When I tried Vista told me that I don't have the authority to delet
that file. Just as a test I tried to delete another program (a scree
saver) but I didn't have the authority to do that either! This is
recent developement, I used to be able to delete programs. What's wron
and what should I do? ( I am the only user and administrator on thi
computer

Use the appropriate Tools and Components in the operating system to remove
applications in the system. Click Start > type 'Programs and Features' >
scroll down and select the third party Screensaver you installed.

Try removing it through add/remove programs instead.

"Fair use is not merely a nice concept--it is a federal law based on
free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."
