[KLUG Members] Linux and NTFS delete

[Dwayne K Blankenship]

Hey Eric, 

 

Can you list what the files are, there may be a corresponding service that
launches when windows starts through a run or load line in the registry.
Clean the registry and kill the process then you can delete the files, it's
kind of the same way persistent malware works. 

Oh, and make sure you are an administrator on the machine.

 

Thanx, 

DKB

Subject: [KLUG Members] Linux and NTFS delete

 

I'm struggling with some rogue Acrobat Reader files on an XP Home install.
Acrobat screwed up during an upgrade and the XP uninstall program con't
uninstall them. There are are few fiels that I can'tmanually delete nohow--I
keep getting "access denied" even when using command line in safe mode.

What I'm wondering is whether I can use a live Linux to zap them. I know
Linux doesn't "write" to NTFS but is there any way to use it to delete these
files safely?

Thanks.

EB
