How to Delete a Virus Program Using the Command Prompt

1 Click the "Start" menu and type "CMD" into the "Run" box and click "OK."
2 Select the drive that is infected with the virus. If you are not sure which drive is infected, start with the "C:" drive. Type in "C:" and press "Enter" to access this drive.

3 Type the following into the command prompt box: - s - h *. * /s /d and press "Enter." This will bring up any suspicious files located on the drive. Open the suspicious file.
4 Look for a file that contains a ".exe" file and a file titled "autorun.inf." If you find these two files, you have found the tainted file. Make sure to write down the name of the program where the file is located.
5 Rename the "autorun.inf" so you can access the drive later without activating the virus. Type: rename autorun.inf as virusfile and close out of the "Command" prompt box.

6 Double-click the "My Computer" icon and select the drive that has the infected file. Find the program that contains the infected file.

7 Right-click on the program and choose "Open."

8 Right-click on the file you renamed "virusfile" and choose "Delete."

9 Right-click on the ".exe" file and choose "Delete." You have now removed the virus from your computer's hard drive.

Tips & Warnings
