Deleting a file through ms-dos prompt.

This block-checker is getting on my nerves, and I know there's a file in C:\windows\system32, a dll file, that can't be removed normally, but I thought of ms-dos prompt :seth: and I was wondering what the command is, and just to check the security of it, I've renamed the file, fake.dll, so it's easier to remember, any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

The command is:
Code:
 
deltree /y c:\windows\system32\fake.dll


:D

Well the dll was made when the virus was caught, so, I'm guessing it's ok, I renamed it and nothing seemed different, should be ok, shouldn't it? :unsure:

first check to see if it is setup as a start up program. to do so goto Start -> Run and type msconfig

this will open up a dialog box with a few tabs. goto the System tab(i beleive) or the Startup tab. this will list all the start up programs that are called on boot. if your file is set to start, disable it and anything else that has a filename of pure jibberish.

now rebot and open the CMD

Code:
 

open ms-dos prompt

type: cd..   (clears command folder)
type: C:\Windows\System32   (accesses the System32 folder)
type: run dir *.dll /p  (runs through the folder and displays ONLY the .dll files in the folder on a page by page basis.  I believe this is the proper command.  i will check it tonight. if it doesnt work, type: dir *.dll /p)

type: del fake.dll
select yes to delete.  this will delete the file unless it is currently being used.



did it work?

It doesn't run on start up or anything like that, but just randomly.
