Autoexec.bat Alert Options

arrow.big.left [Main] arrow.big.right

 

When Trojan Remover finds a suspect command line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file an Alert screen will be shown. Suspect lines are defined as follows:

Any line beginning with DEL

Any line containing the word DELETE

Any line containing the word FORMAT

Any line containing the word DELTREE



 

The Alert will show the actual suspect line being examined.

 

You will be presented with the following options:

 

Leave this line in place

Choosing this option will mean that Trojan Remover will take no action. The line will remain active in the Autoexec.bat file.

 

Prevent this line from being executed by commenting it out

Trojan Remover will place a REM comment at the start of the suspect line, thus preventing it from being executed. This is the safest option to choose because if it is later determined that the line was required then it can be reinstated simply by removing the REM comment.

 

Prevent this line from executing by removing it

Trojan Remover will delete the line from the Autoexec.bat.

 

Should Trojan Remover make any modifications to the Autoexec.bat file it will save the original file as AUTOEXEC.TR. This file can then be used for recovery purposes if required.
