    Hello all,
    Is there any way to delete a file, which is used by windows, while
    windows running? (Without using command prompt only -DOS)
    That thought was born to me when my antivirus... DELETE a (virus) file
    (while windows running) and at the same time I couldn't deleted thru
    windows explorer "windows are using this file-is protected-blah blah blah") SO, if McAfee can do it, why should I can not?
    There must be a way (program) to do so...
    Any ideas?
    note: Please excuse my English they are not my mother language
    You should look for Kill Process programs...
    Antivirus stop the application file and then erases it from HD, it
    doesn't delete the file while its runnig, cause it's impossible.
