The thing that stops a virus from doing this in the first place is the fact it requires admin privileges. Once a malicious program has that, it can do pretty much whatever it likes.
Are you sure you can't just take ownership using the GUI? In older versions of Windows, you had to enable advanced file sharing to see the full security properties and take ownership; dunno if that's the same for 7.
