How do I permanently remove an infected WinRAR file ?

Hi,

Somebody sent me an infected WinRAR file. When I checked with NOD 32 antivirus by right clicking it did not show that it had a virus,

But after Un Packing it, now it shows virus. My antivirus NOD 32 is able to delete the infected unpacked file but not the infected WinRAR file.

So I am still stuck with that infected WinRAR file.

How do I permanently remove that infected WinRAR file ?

Thanks
Mike

 

Halo,

Thank You so much.

I didn't know it would be so easy.

One more question on the subject.

Does holding the shift key & the using the delete command do the same thing ?

I have been using that when I wanted to permanently delete a file.

Now on should I use this software everytime I want to permanently delete a file OR only when deleting the infected file ?

Thanks
Mike

 

Holding down the shift key while deleting bypasses the Recycle Bin.

You should only do this if you are certain that you don't want to restore the file, as you won't have the safeguard of the Recycle Bin.

Also, with MoveOnBoot, it adds a right-click context menu, so you can just right-click the file or folder and make your selection.
