How to remove the viruses using command prompt …???

There are many attributes possessed by a file or folder such as:

1. System ->S

2. Archive ->A

3. Read only ->R

4. Hidden ->H

A - (Minus) sign before an attribute means removing attributes and +(plus) sign mean giving attributes to the respective file or folder.

For eg. attrib -r-a-s-h a.txt will remove all attributes from the file and replacing ‘-‘ sign with ‘+’ will add all the attributes to the file a.txt.

STEPS TO DELETE THE VIRUS :


1). Go to the command prompt by start>all programs>accessories>command prompt.

2). Open the drive where you want to delete virus eg. write f: to go to F drive .

3.)when you reach in specified drive press dir/w/a. it will show all the files of that drive including the hidden ones.

4.)Identify AUTORUN.INF and VIRUS in the directory.

5.)Use command –r -a -s -h to remove the attributes of corresponding file.(see syntax in eg. given above).

6.)Type the command del autorun.inf to delete autorun file first.

7.)Again type del name-of-virus.exe to delete it.

8.)Your virus is removed but there is a probability of virus residing in recycler folder and to remove it you have to navigate recycler using command cd recycler and follow steps 3-7.

Finally your drive is free of viruses.

Easy na……! I promise you will be safe…
