This script was made to get rid of Virus Files

You can manually remove virus Files with this

It first just trys to plain delete the file. if it cant it tries to delete by the recycle bin. if that doesnt work it has its Last Line Of Defense

In that case it Stops Explorer.exe then use batch file to delete it then starts explorer

INSTRUCTIONS

Compile the script and then drag and dropthe Infected file on it it will be deleted



Heres the script

Well this no doubt is a good intention, but a few things i see.

1. It doesn't detect viruses, you need an outside anti virus program to give u the location of the file in order to delete it (if the anti virus program doesn't delete it itself)
2. Registry might be affected by viruses, your script doesn't account for that.
3. In your script, you don't start explorer back up
4. For the bat file, it would be smart to add the /R (force delete) option as well.

I don't mean to hassle you about the script, I'm just being objective; It's most definitely good intentioned and will solve a few problems some people have.

Hey,

This wasnt to be a full antivirus program just to delete virus files

Also if you search for a virus in google it will probanbly tell your how to remove it "Manually"

and tell you where the files are to delete


As for the registry my script wont do that

Also the /R isnt a switch for the DEL command

crap my bad, i had a bit of confusion, its /F

And like I said in my first post, you should update your script to start explorer at the end.
