delme.bat

I had the file Delme.bat on my computer, and Ad Aware, Spybot, Hijack this, Symantec, and Trend Micro could not remove it.

What did I have exactly, and what should I do now that I deleted it myself?

My first thought is that it was left over from some program cleaning itself up. Of course my second thought was to do a quickie search. It may be spyware. Take a look at this. They also have a removal tool.

disclaimer: I have no idea how valid the information is on this site.

I remember a long time ago, when DOS was still used, that certain installers would leave such a file in the root directory (or elsewhere). Did you install any old programs lately?

Not “old” but shoddly made. - “Egames” from the dollar store.

Batch files (dos, extension .bat) are written in plain ascii text. Open it up in Wordpad, or a similar file, and have an old dos geek tell what it does.
