Is Going Into Sudo Safe in this Situation?

Hi,

I have a file that won't close, and I'm concerned I accidentally downloaded a virus. When I tried to do rm through Terminal, I got the line "override rw-r--r-- [my name]/staff for [file path]," and the file is still there. Is it safe to go into Sudo mode to try to override this? If unsure, is there some way I can check the file?

Thanks.

Yes, it's more than OK. Just didn't want it to be the same issue.

What is the file that will not close?
