Default cannot delete files

I recently ran norton anti-virus and it detected several
spyware and adware files. NAV then asked me if I wanted
to delete them. I checked them off and tried to delete
them but I received an error message stating that I was
not authorized to delete them. I then found them on the
using the path through my computer and tried to highlight
and delete them, drag and drop them into my trash, etc.
nothing worked. Any idea how I can get rid of these? I'm
guessing they were installed when I installed kazaa

Where are these files located? what names do they have?

If in the C:\_Restore folder tree, then don't worry about them too much.....
