I'm trying to delete this folder C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\uguru.inf_amd64_neutral_8de494543c3a5038 as I'm getting BSODs due to uguru.sys even though it's no longer installed but I'm getting a message saying that I need permission. Most programs you can just right click and choose 'run as administator' but I can't do that here so how can I delete it?
 
The driverstore probably isn't quite like other folders, similar to the Windows GAC in c:\windows\assembly. Try in safemode, if not, you might have to try booting from a boot disk and doing it through there.

Safe mode didn't work, what do you mean about doing it from a boot disk Moredhel, do you mean from DOS?
 
HiJackThis and Killbox didn't work but I managed to get rid of the offending file eventually after a good fiddle with the permissions, thanks all :)
