unable to delete file after finding trojan horse virus

I am running Windows XP Home version, have AVG 6.0. It found two, one called
trojan horse downloader.apropo.O located in
C:\programfiles\autoupdate\autoupdate.exe and another called trojan horse
downloader.braidupdate.C located in C:\\windows\uptodate.exe.

I cannot delete these of course and it will not move them to virus vault.

Any suggestions much appreciated!
