Cannot delete/remove 'download helper'

[vin17]

On my desktop, there is a 'download helper' icon for a certain program that I haven't installed on my laptop.

However, when i go to delete it, it says 'Cannot delete xxxxxx: Access is denied...Make sure the disc is not full or write protected and the file is currently not in use."

I should also say there is no folder related to it in the program files folder.

Thanks.
