How to delete C:\WINDOWS\pc-off.bat------Tro...
If i were to say simple..


I'm kidding....


took me a day to clean it up..


its undetected virus..


1st..


go into safe mode.


go to folder options and open hidden files, open extentions, and open windows protected files..


now go to c: windows


search for a file name photos.zip.exe


THIS IS THE MOTHER VIRUS!


rename the the file to photos.zip


then rename it again to photos.doc


now plug in any pendrive or any external drive u usually use and double click into them.


find the photos.zip and autorun.inf file and delete them (if they exist).


then restart your pc and go into c: windows again..


now you can delete the photos.doc (renamed)


and find the file name pc-off.bat and delete them.


now you're free of this virus!

Reply:Try to delete as you would delete any other file.





If that doesn't work, try safe mode.





If that doesn't work, find a livecd that has write support for your filesystem.
