[SOLVED] Delete files in Win7
I need to delete files on Win7 that I suspect are malware. Search shows several programs that do it. Is there any recommendation?

Re: Delete files in Win7
you could boot in Safe Mode & then UN-install them.
- done that before.
if it's just some isolated program, that is in it's own directory - - you can delete from the Linux side, as well.
do run an on-line scanner as well:

that will take some hours, to complete.
