mmm.. right ... this does not make sense.

@OP: You mean if you can delete a directory when its in-use by a program ?

You cannot as far as I know unless you kill all tasks using it first.

You have some infection on your PC ? Get a good AV package.

[BZU]

i can not install any av because virus kills the setup.

that's why i was asking about it.

by the way can u help me to kill its process first and delete its dir ?

i have tried but i could not kill this process.

@Jos

You can use the AutoIt3 ProcessClose() or the WindowsXP tskill.exe program to kill a task.

By the way, just start your PC in SafeMode and remove the Virus program from your PC and possible remove the registry RUN entries.

And no , I'd be willing to bet there would be a way AutoIt could help... just the intuition and will to put the language to use may lack.
