File/Folder Deletion

On carrying out a good spring clean of the family PC while installing a ZoneLab Firewall, I discover a sneaky little folder in the C drive Program Files which calls itself a 'Dialer'. This came to my attention when the Firewall asked me if it was ok for this dialer to access the internet. I naturally declined! On trying to delete this 'thing', it will go as far as the Waste Bin, but refuses to be deleted from there. A window comes up asking me to check that the disk is not full or write protected, or that the program is not in use. How can I, therefore, get rid of this sneaky little chap?

I am running W98 Second Edition, AOL, Norton antivirus and the basic ZoneLab Firewall.

Cheers all,
