One method for deleting 'stubborn' files in XP:
open a command shell
open task manager and kill the explorer.exe process
manually delete the file in question from the command prompt
restart explorer from the command line.
This often works, but may not in your case if another process keeps that
file locked.
You can also download process explorer and file explorer from
sysinternals.com and see if you can find out who owns that tmp file -
that would be your virus {given that the thing really IS a virus}.
