Re: Deleting "Software" file located on C:\WINDOWS\Repair\Software

Laura,

Thanks for the reply.

I did use the anti-virus software interface to delete the file. I rebooted
the ss

I thought the "software" file in this directory is used to repair the
registery.

Thanks,

Your anti-virus software should provide you with an option to delete any
quarantined files using the anti-virus software interface; I wouldn't
recommend trying to delete anything manually.

Hello,

Over the past holidays, some of my servers had been infected with
Troj/ScriptDl-A virus. They have been quarantine, but I like to delete
them.

Any consequences of removing the "software" file in this
C:\WINDOWS\Repair\Software directory"?

Thanks so much.
Tnt
