That's the point though - how would you have known that it was an infected
file? - infected files often have identical or similar names to legitimate
system files - and deleting them would cause no end of grief.

Also indicates that there's a little more to it than just deleting a file!!
Have you updated your AV and run a full scan of ALL files on your PC to
prevent immediate reinfection?
