    I have used different versions of MS-DOS for many years now, but I have 
never had this error before:

Sharing Violation Error Reading Drive C
 Abort, Retry, Fail

This happened when I tried to delete a file that had the same attributes as 
the rest of the files in the directory, and I was able to delete the rest of 
the files.
  The difference was that this file was created by a DES encryption program.
 DESQview, X00.sys (communications driver), and Shield (virus protection) 
were all in memory.  I was able to delete the file with any other program
such as PcTools, but not with the DOS delete command.
  If Fail was entered after the error it said "Access denied".  Also,
the program list said "Access Denied".  Again, checking with both Norton 
Util and PcTools, there was no read-only bit.

  Anybody got a suggestion?
  Could this be the side effects of a virus?
