The more obvious occurrence of this message is when you attempt to remove the program itself. This precautionary message prevents you from deleting files you might not want to remove.

File names with the extension EXE are programs. Trying to delete such a file yields this error message.

How do I correct the error?

Do not delete the file:

Click "No" in the error window.

Do not use the program any more:

1.     Click "Yes" in the error window to delete the file anyway.

2.     Do not plan to run that program anymore!

Remove the program properly:

1.     Click "Start" / "Setting" / "Control Panel."

2.     Click "Add/Remove Programs."

3.     Click the program name you wish to delete.

4.     Click "Add/Remove."

5.     Follow the instructions in the window.
