deleting a file with access denied message

[Guest Shaun]

How do I force delete a file, what program can I get to do this. I know

that I could cause a system crash doing this, but I can't find out what

other program is accessing it to shut it down.

 

thanks,

 

Shaun

Reboot the machine in Safe Mode, then rename the problem

file. This is much safer than deleting it, although it may still

prevent your machine from restarting if you succeed in

deleting a Windows key file.

some files if forced

deleted can crash your

system. in which case

you would need to do

a system restore or a

repair install.

 

you care to share the

filename?

Also you can right click on "My Computer" click on

Manage

System Tools

Shared Folders

Open Files

This will show you if anything actively has its hooks in anywhere.

Re: deleting a file with access denied message

 

i'm hoping that somebody can help me with a trojan horse i picked up. i've

tried everything: scans, deleting everything connected with it minus 1

file...explain in a sec, sys restores, restore deletes. anyways i now have

the file a.v.g. keeps telling me its in and that is

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\agl 17.sys. when i go to run> sys32 > drivers >

agl17 and try tpo delet it it denies me, after some searching i found a tool

called "unlocker 1.8.7" which was supposed to open the file and possibly

enable me to delet it. well when i right clicked on the file then used

unlocker it came back saying it couldn't find a locking handle, but it can

help and to choose an action. now it has a scroll box with only 1 choice -to

do nothing or quit!! so i still have the file with the trojan horse. could u

please help me.

p.s. the trojan horse is called Scagent.T and or Ntrootkit.Am, i've seen

both while dealing with this, but the scagent is what pops up with the a.v.g.

thx 4 ur help

I once had a file that couldn't be deleted because it was "being used by

another program".

 

I finally booted to windows safe mode "with prompt". del then worked on the

rogue file.
