R U trying to delete malware or viruses?
You must make note of the names and locations of the files. Most security software will inform u of the name and path of the offending files. Software like winpatrol, avast antivirus, hijackthis, sygate firewall, etc
Any file can easily be deleted by doing the
following;
1. using the windows XP installation CD restart the PC with the CD inside the CD drive.
2. Press any key to boot from CD
3. Choose R to repair existing windows
4. choose the windows installation partition (usually option 1 for C:\windows)
5. Enter administrator's password (press enter for none)
6. change directory to where the files are located
7. type the delete command: del filename.ext
8. You may try using the attrib command: attrib -hr filename.ext
---------------------------------------
If you are running Windows 98 then choose command prompt only after pressing and releasing the F8 key aggressively and repeatedly during restart.
