    You shouldn't need to but some antiviruses will pop up when adaware/ spybot open suspect files and that will lock the file and prevent either of them cleaning it

    it seems to happen most with either Norton or Kapersky when using adaware

    so if it happens to you then do an antivirus scan first and let it fix everything then use adaware to clean up what the av doesn't find or look for
